Photoshop CS help

I have a copy of Photoshop CS. I ink my sketches with the Pen Tool. When I select areas to color, there is an anoying white space between my selection and the "ink". I was reading Jeph's newest tutorial and was wondering how, exactly, he gets Photoshop to expand all of his selections by 2 pixels? Is it even possible in CS, or is it a CS2 thing? That white space has been one of my biggest problems while coloring my drawings. I only have a really crappy mouse to draw with and saving myself the monotony of rubbing all of that white space away after filling my selections would just rock until I purchase a tablet.

Thanks in advance!

My PS6 has that feature. Tried looking in the "Selection" menu (if there is one...cant look right now)? Look for "expand" or something like that....

Primate:
torg should be right on the money, even for CS. Also, make sure you're putting your colors on a different layer than your inks, and that your paintbucket is set so it is recognizes only the current layer, not all layers (assuming you're using the paintbucket).

TheRedPaper:
Wow. I really cannot believe I haven't noticed that there... Yeah, it's under the "Select" menu in the group called "Modify." Hey, thanks for the help!

Here's what I do - it is long winded but hey.

do my inking with the brush tool. Gives you lovely smooth lines.

Then colour underneath using the pencil tool - draw round the edges and then fill it if I want to. I much prefer doing it that way.
