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.
