please help

thanks!!

Easiest way, imo, would be to grab the polygonal lasso tool, zoom in to 1000% and go around her outside. There are other ways, but thats just as easy (And easier to explain) :p.

okay cool, thanks

I ended up using this method (extracting);

one other question;

how do u make it so Photoshop diesn't snap to the end when I'm moving images around? like I want to move it close to the end but not exactly at th eend however when I get anywhere near the edge it snaps to it

any suggestions?

what do i do after I lasso it?

also, it doesn't seem very accurate this way :S

am I doing it wrong?

That is the most accurate way :p. Have you zoomed in fully?

i'm getting the hang of it now and I like it :)

thanks

You can also use the pen tool to cut it out, basically rendering. Pen tool will definantly give you best results.
