Another option is painting on a layer mask - it is like the eraser tool, but much more convenient to rework and correct. But it is almost impossible to achieve crisp edges this way. For hard and crisp edges it may be better to use the pen tool and trace the contour of the object with it creating a path, that you can edit and later turn into selection. Have in mind that "color to alpha" removes the selected color from the whole image (except if you already have a selection).
