The Magic Wand

I only remember one thing in my last foray into photoshop. I loved the magic wand. I didn't remember why; just thst I loved it. The love affair has resumed. It's perfect for selecting and deleting the white backgrounds on clipart.  It's so handy for deleting similiar colours. Below are two pics. One piece has the background. The other, I used the magic wand to select the background. Then used the paint bucket to replace the backgroun with colour to make the graphic pop.
