Photoshop is soooo good. Everytime I think I miss some feature I look it up and there's a setting that grants even my craziest wishes.

@GetDragged Look at the tools down the left, and look for it hidden under one of the tool flyouts - the little arrow in the bottom corner of a tool. It might be hidden behind another tool. This is only in Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements or Photoshop Lightroom, which are different programs.

Can anybody please help me out? The first few times using the Magic Wand went perfectly, but now all of a sudden I can't see what I erased anymore. This is the same when using the eraser, the picture just stays as it was. However, in the miniature picture on the right I can see what I erased. But when I save the picture, it just stays the same. Can someone please help me? It would mean a lot to me.

@l0vemusic1 It sounds like you have a separate layer created. When you are erasing, it's only erasing from the current layer.
You can either delete the other layers, or when you use the Magic Wand, tick the box that says 'sample all layers'. That way when you erase, it erases from all the layers. Good luck!

I selected some areas but when I want to delete those areas it won't work. How can I for example delete the background of an image and then put a color to the background? Please help, been spending all day trying to figure that out.

@l0vemusic1 Hi there. Pressing Ctrl+Delete (or Cmd+Delete if you are on a mac) should delete the selected area. Check that when you have made your selection, you have put a tick in the option to 'sample all layers'. You might have layers and it's not selecting all of them. Once you have deleted the selection, you can use the paint bucket tool to fill in the selection.
