I want to paint a photo of a room.
When i use the magic Wand it only selects a section of the wall. How can i select the whole wall around the furniture ?

not certain what you are referring to- but I think it may this- when you select the magic wand there will appear a setting called "tolerance" up on the toolbar. Changing the "tolerance" setting will make the magic wand more or less sensitive to changes in shading of pixels within your color setting. So raising the tolerance will help the wand to select sections of the wall that are the same color (e.g. red) but might be shaded slightly and so are a darker red. Lowering the tolerance will increase the selectivity to a tighter range of Red tones.

How can i select the whole wall around the furniture ?

so if the magic wand is selecting both the wall and the furniture you would need to decrease the tolerance to maybe "10". Then only the beige wall will be selected. Play with the tolerance number until the results are what you want. Also pick "contiguous" on the toolbar, that way any beige in the chair doesn’t get selected too.
