Sam - THANKS SO MUCH for the advice. I've spent some time last night and this morning learning to use the pen tool. I can see where it can be very accurate.Right now I'm using a mouse but have a Wacom Tablet that I'll need to learn to use as it looks like it would be even more accurate. But, for the sake of speed and needing to get this done, will use the mouse for this one.

A few more questions:
When using the pen tool do you position the points slightly inside the area you wish to protect or right on the line (in this case between the glass/cookie/can and the green background?

When I blew up the image to better use the pen tool, it noticed some of the green foliage showing thru the glass at the top. These will be made into 8x10 prints so maybe that won't be too obvious. But if it is, is there a way to fix this?

Could you expound a bit more on using the gradient tool?
