Removing background from images

I am finding this too hard, I googled and found some companies that do this sort of thing, has anyone tried them? Is clipping path the same as deepetching. http://www.deepetch.com seems to be one good one, I also saw www.ezyclipping.com - and Photoshop Clipping Paths - How To & How Not To Create Good Quality Paths. Has anyone had any experience with this sort of thing. My catalog has over 300 images of jewellery and jackets with fur fitted on manequins due in two weeks, all shot on a blue studio background. Do I require alpha channel masking? Can anyone help please?

the fastest way i think is in photoshop :

Top menu : Select / Color range...

you can select some color from the drop box or with the eyedropper tool (by clicking on the color in the image) and play with the fuzziness for ajustment...

this tool select which color you want you just need to press backspace for deleteing after selecting...

but i dont know how its gonna work... i didnt see the source images...

if you cant do it :P

upload all file in a zip file, give me the link by ftp, ship me 1000$ and im gonna make it for you "in time" :P

good luck

I use a different method but I don't know if it is the easiest method. I use the magic wand to select the area which I want to get rid off and then I simply use the eraser tool to remove it.

That sounds sensible and rather easy. My only problem is, I'm not very adept with mouse control. I find it really hard to make a clean finish especially with curved edges and such. What do you do in that case?
