There're 2 ways to do that ....

Step 1 :
After you open an image you want to to, on the menubar choose Filter -> Extract


Step 2 :
Click on the icon below and then draw the region you want to extract, like this


After that, click on this icon to fill the region ( make sure the drawing close tight )


Then click Preview to see the result, try again if you don't pleased with that ( it takes time, so don't try to draw fast )

Step 3 :
Click Ok if you feel okay ^^
Well, the background now transparent, you can add something you want ( I use gradient tool to make backgrounf here )


Step 4 :
Zoom the image up the use Eraser tool to erase the "don't -want" remaining



Step 5 :
Add something you want, make the image blur for example ..... And here the result



Because I did it fast so it look bad ne? But it's hard if you are new to Photoshop, but don't worry, once you knew it well, you can extract right ^^

Another way of extracting would be using the magic wand tool (Hopefully u noe which one issit...)!
It's much easier if the image is simple like... hmmz..



U can use the magic wand tool and click on the background then Tada!



then just keep clicking on the background until u're satisfied with your selection.
Lastly when u selected all your background, press delete and u get one clean image!

After much editing, this is what i get after much alteration. The one tt's outlined in red is wat i get after i got e image out



There's another way using layer mask, do u noe how to do tt Mystery-kid chan?? If not i can try to explain nx time i'm free. It's quite tidious but it's very clean!

You missed one, An-chan ^^"

-----------------------------
Okay, the second way to extract an image ^^

Step 1
Open the image then choose MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL


step 2
Choose a point to start and draw it around Conan, like this ( don't worry, it follow you [ Gah, don't know how to explain this >_<]



Click on the started point to complete, result :


step 3
Press Ctrl - Shift - I
Then choose EDIT -> CLEAR


The background will turn to the color as your background color, I choose white here
You can use movetool to move it to a new page and make a new background



~DONE~

any question ? Nah, seems like I explain difficult to understand ..... >_<

Actually, I use the Polygonal Lasso Tool...it kinda works the same anyway.

Neh neh ^^ It's not ur fault ^^" Don't be sorry ;D
Pentool is the best way to extract, but it's hard to use though ^^"

[kyubinaruto]

quite true, but i still prefer my eraser!!!!!!!!!! much cleaner ^^

[vuvu •°♡]

LOL!!! *hi-5 with Kyubi-chan* That's the way I do it too XDDD After all, I only work on avatars so I needn't worry about the details ^^

[Haibara]

I do prefer the MAGNETIC LASSO TOOL, I think it looks neater, and I don't have to bother with erasing things. ^^ *so lazy*

I usually use eraser but sometimes i use the magnetic lasso.
