My masking fails:
- when I edit the image, The foreground is a different colour to the picture with the minifigure in it.
- resulting in unbalance colour in the picture.
I take its to do with light? -I have 2 desktop lamps
Or...?
Please help me on ways to prevent this 
Could we see the images that you're trying to mask?
Well, often, when my lighting isn't perfect, I cut fairly close to my minifigure, leaving about five pixels around the edges. (Though less is better) It's still quick and it usually gives you pretty good results. This helps me if my camera is moved just slightly different, Hopefully it will help with lighting problems too. And yeah, we would probably be able to tell you exactly what's wrong if you gave us the pictures your trying to mask. 
Here is the end result when i've finished 'trying to mask':

as you can see, towards the left, there is unbalanced colour?
@jogopocomedia thanks! Ill try that! And today I may buy some better halogen lamps. 
Before and after, please. I can't help until I see all the images.
