Hi @Michael Lewis and welcome to the forums...

I agree, add/subtract modifier keys would be really helpful...

You can hide the marching ants by selecting Show Pixel Selection from the view menu, this acts as a toggle and of course you can set a keyobard shortcut to make it quicker to turn on and off...

Ctrl-/Cmd-D should already dismiss marching ants selections! - Take a look under the help keyb shortcuts!

I think @Michael Lewis is looking to Hide rather than Dismiss the marching ants...

<Pedant on>

Control or Command + D Deselects the selection, doesn't hide or dismiss the selection.

<Pedant off>

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

<pedantry>Dismissing a selection is the same as deselecting, but hiding (via the ‘Show Pixel Selection’ toggle) doesn’t deselect anything.</pedantry>
