Yo... If you mess up, you don't have to start over, you can just Ctrl+Alt+Z it...
Also known as history, or undo.

Don't just restart it.

What I do is use the wand to select the stuff closest to the render
then I use the crop tool to remove the bigger stuff that isn't close to the render.

Someone should make a tutorial on how to use it effectively. =)

if you change the Tolernace it will change what it will and will not grab as a color, i usually use tolderance between 10-30 depending on what i want to select, only if it is a relatively basic color background completely different than the render, if so then you can use the Pen Tool which is the ACTUAL rending tool (you just zoom right and and use the pen tool to select around the entire render, then reverse the selection to delete the outside)

FYI: if you dont set your pen tool up right and you get a weird black shape, change the pen tool layer that was created opacity down so it will be invisible and continue to pen tool around your object

Chrono's signatures look magic...dunno why :s

Yeah. Do what Chrono Said. Im only speaking from what I know of GIMP, so tell me if There are any discrepancies in my explanation:

What you need to do is,as Chrono Said, adjust the Tolerance of the magic wand (It's Called "Threshold" in GIMP land) so that it will select the background color range, but not the actual future-render. The 'paths tool' (if an option in PS) would certainly be one's most favored ally in this, and if nothing else, one could use the "Smart Scissors" (another Questionable item) and just select various in-line points on the outside of the render, making sure to adjust the paths in between the selection points. Then, one can just invert the selection or cut and paste into a new file.
