Is there an easier way of creating a pure white background behind a subject other than creating a white layer and erasing the white off the subject?

hi,
there a lot of different ways to replace a background and sometimes it depends on the image what the best way....

a popular meathod is create a mask to hide what you don't want shown and then put in your fill layer...

for the selection... you can use channel masking techniques like this

or depending on your version photoshop you make a rough selection and use the refine edge tool ... and there other ways...
