I know I have seen some some tricks for selecting telephone and
electric power lines in order to remove them from the photo, but
I seem to have forgotten them.
Currently I use the magic wand tool which is slow and somewhat
inaccurate especially when the wires are out of focus. After I
have the wire selected I expand it by a pixel or two and then use
the patch tool followed by some extra touch up, if needed. This
is all slower than I'd like.

So, does anyone have some good tricks for selecting wires?

Hold the shift key down while clicking the clone tool or other brush to
stroke a straight line.
