Number of Regions Selected with Magic Wand

This might be a simple question, but I'm relatively new to photoshop. If I use the magic wand on an image to select a number of distinct regions of a particular intensity (this part I can do), is it possible to obtain a count of how many unique regions were selected?

Thanks in advance,

Corey

hi there,
you could count the steps in the history palette. when using the wand, if you press the shift key that adds to your selection..

That might work if I was selecting different regions throughout the image one at a time. What I'm trying to do however, is to click on one object, and have the Magic Wand select all other similar objects in the image at that instant. I can do that, but what I can't quite figure out is how to count all of those regions once they're selected. It's too many to count by hand, so I was hoping for an automated way to determine that number.

Any other ideas?

Thanks.
