How to use Magic Eraser Technique in Adobe Photoshop ?

Here's the summary for using Magic Eraser Technique in Adobe Photoshop:

Magic Eraser Technique:

1. First pass using Magic Eraser Tool:
72 tolerance, contiguous, anti-aliased.

2. Second pass using Magic Eraser Tool:
32 tolerance, other settings same.

3. Used Eraser tool (brush mode)to clean up edges,
stray pixels, and shadow area.

My take:

This technique makes it easy to isolate objects that are on solid-colored backgrounds, although you may need to spend some time with touch-up. Beware of stray pixels and forget about using this technique if you have a multi-colored background!
