Hi poohfin,

I think the reason you can't select the whole background with one-click magic wand is because you have different values of blue. The background has to be evenly lit which is a very hard thing to do.

what you might want to try is that you can select the blue background with Select -> Color Range and from the Color Range dialog box select Sampled Colors. by using the eye dropper with the + sign, you can add different values of blue to the selection. after selecting your blue values, you can switch to "quick mask" mode and detail your selection.

There are alot of ways of making selections. You can use the lasso tools or the pen tools or by switching to the quick mask mode could be other options. Whichever works fine for you.

hope this helps
