Select color range or the magic wand can come close, but you'd be surprised how much of whatever color you want is also in the other objects in the picture. Me, I zoom in very deep and use the lasso tool. It's painstaking, but it works. Once I get the things deleted I want, I go around the cut edges with the blur tool to blur it lightly. Can't say what other folks do. But that's worked for me since like, Photoshop 4. Once you get a method of working, I guess you rarely change it.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
