Hello, and welcome

I'm trying to do pretty much the samet hing (the bluescreeen background) with the website that I'm putting in a lot of time on, faerydance. 

You guys all have given great info   ... but I can't believe that someone hasn't mentioned the following:

Check the CONTIGUOUS option fot the Magic Wand tool.  If it's on, it will only select areas of the same colour that are CONNECTED.  If it's off, then it will select ALL areas of that colour (and that tolerance thing that you've selected).

I've had good luck making difficult selections in Quick Mask mode.  As someone else menti0ned, this basically allows you to make a selection with any of the painting tools.

One more thing:  You might try the selection | Modify | Expand command.  It's a little heavy-handed, but it will grow your selection by one pixel in all directions -- and  maybe get you what you want.

If this STILL doesn't work for you, why don't you post the graphic for us, and we'll have a go at it?
