Im using CS2, when I use the Magic Wand feature, there are times when it wont switch off.

I start with an image, make a duplicate background, then apply the magic wand feature. When I want another tool, I select say the Pen tool, but the Magic Wand selection still stays on screen. I hit Escape, but nothing changes.

Is there a trick to switching OFF the Magic Tool when you have fisnished using it?

I have Photoshop CS3 although in CS2 I never had any problems with selecting or deselecting any tools via the keyboard.
