Because of the background color, making the selection with the wand is actually quite easy, which makes the process a bit quicker. It should work fine with CS6... I wish I had that program!! I have one of the first version of Photoshop, Version 7, before all the "CS" stuff came out :D
You can do it!!


Something like this?

I do see some haloing where the jacket and background merge. Perhaps my hand was too heavy.

I see that, too, and I just tried it for myself, and got the same halo-ing; however, it just looks like it could be normal shadowing, at least to the untrained eye :)

It might be that there was some feathering that was included in the selection process. I like what you have done a lot better than your original post. WTG.
