I lay the new background on top of the image then set that layer to overlay then
at the top click
Layer - Layer mask - reveal all
That gives you a mask and you paint with black to erase what you don't want and if you erase too much just change to white to put it back.

Cleanly done. May I ask for a brief description of what you did to replace the gray? I use Photoshop at my job (TV graphics). You don't have to go into a lot of detail, just point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Now I need to start shooting some 3D backgrounds. I'm attaching the same shot in 2D with a 1940's style wallpaper, replacing the background took about 5 minutes in Photoshop.
