Hi, I am completely new to photoshop and have been trying for hours to figure out how to do the following:

I have a headshot against a wall and the head has a shadow on it. The colour of the wall is to close to the colour of the face so I need to change the background to a white colour. However, I try using the magic wand and then image, adjustments, levels to make the background but this leaves a distorted bit where the shadow is.

I'm sure there is a really easy way for me to cut his head out and put on a white background but I cant find it anywhere,

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks,

Nicola
