Smoothing Option (not the hardness, stroke smoothing) for the Lasso Tools

I think having a smoothing slider (not the hardness slider, stroke smoothing)

just like the one in the brush tool would make precise selections with lasso tools much easier. Yes there is already a pen tool to select accurately but using lasso can speed up the process a lot when using a tablet.

I think it would be odd.  Personally... if you want precise precise then use the pen tool.

Or.... use a display tablet.  But the selection tools are getting better.

already have a plug-in with that feature. Smoothing can be applied to all tools such as pen tool as well as lasoo tool.

How would this work with a selection tool like the lasso? What do you envision? A new tool, that would automatically open up a modal dialog window to enter options/slider etc?

 

An interim method could be to convert the selection to Quick Mask mode, interactively apply a filter (Median, Minimum, Maximum), and then exit Quick Mask mode. An Action (F-key) or Script (custom keyboard shortcut) could speed up the use. I looked into the Script Events Manager, however, I couldn't find an event for the lasso tool.
