Adjusting selection

After selecting a region with the box selection tool, is there a way to fine tune the selection?
In Photoshop, I use the "Select/Transform Selection" tool, and it gives me transform handles on the edges and corners of the selection.

Select the "Scale the layer or selection" tool (Shift+T) in the toolbox, then click the "Transform Selection" button (the pink square) in the tool options. This allows you to scale a selection using handles on the corners of the selection.

Thanks for that.

When manually dragging an edge, is there a way to constrain it on an axis?

In Photoshop you hold shift and your cursor motion will be restricted to the initial axis you start moving your mouse on.

A short test reveals:

pressing ctrl limits the movement to left-right, pressing alt limits the movement to top-down

Ctrl keeps the height, Alt the width, and both simultaneously the aspect ratio. This is also available in the scale tool options.

You can for example use the transform tools on the selection.
