Mark: late again !! heh

creating selections in PS is half the battle, as in , learning all the methods available, plus inventing your own methods, is one of the secrets of PS. It takes a little time, but is more than worth the effort. A combination of learning the generic selection tools (marquees, lasso, etc) combined with the colour range tool, the pen tool, and ultimately using your channels to isolate and build a basis for a selection or a mask. Hours of fun for everyone [/list:u]

never tried the 16 thing with the wand Mark!
gonna have to play now!
enjoy

::edit:: cant believe I omitted to mention the 'quick mask' mode! (slaps self), with which you can make a rough selection, then jump over to quick mask mode, where you can use any of the painting tools to refine the selection, due to the fact the selection is now displayed to you as a masked areas on which you can paint in or paint out areas of the mask, as well as blurring, sharpening etc etc etc...then you jump back to regualar mode and your seleciton now reflects the edits you made in quick mask mode! very handy sometimes. info overload!

::edit 2:: Mark ! heh

cheers
