Spence,
Its always a lot quicker to get it right in the camera than to futz with it in the computer. You could also use filters over the lens if you don't have the right light. But that's often imprecise as well. If you can control the lighting that the best way to do it.

Better - get closer in and fill the megapixels a bit - images can be scaled down far easier than up. Also run a smooth white background so the image can be "cut out" easier

That's the trick - keep the pic LARGE wand it if you can, smooth the edge out a little with a softened eraser tool, then cut down.... Looks good...

LARGE is the trick, but I prefer the Lasso tool, over the wand..(use shift & Alt to add/subtract from selection to get exactly what you want to select..its better and quicker than spending time with wand selection properties..) then just cut your selection, select all on BGlayer, delete, then paint entire background red or white or something..then paste your new layer (the seleciton) and use your eraser to clean up the rest on New Layer.

The Red Square/Circle Selection tool works the same way too.

But thats how I do it..w/ layers. zoom in 3-500% to get all the nooks n cranies..right down to the square pixels.

you can use the magic wand tool in Fireworks or Photoshop to do it.

If you set the tolerance correctly you can erase the backround rather quickly and neatly.
