"QUICK SELECTION"
Follow these steps...
- Choose the Quick Selection Tool, it is located in the same menu as the Magic Wand tool directly above the Crop tool in the Tool Box.

- Start by clicking and dragging your mouse over the area you want selected.

- Use your "ALT" key to toggle back and forth between +/-
