Can you post an example certain images can be done easier then others.
You can try the magic wand or the color range to select the blue or color blend if...but there are many other ways depending on the image.

A very easy way is to use the pentool to select the background (or the foreground) delete the background (or place the foreground on a second layer).
Place a white background under the extracted image.
Good luck,
Lasa

PS: The magic wand doesn't do a very good job...
if you don't like the pentool..the background eraser also works well for this type of extractions.
