Another (brief) question then...If you were trying to extricate, say, a kitty from a photo, how would you go about it? And without hurting the poor (evil) kitty...

What I do is crop the picture as close as possiblethen I draw around the kitten with the lasso tool or I sometimes use the pen tool.
Then invert the selection and delete, clean up the remaing image and thats it.

Trace round himwith the polygonal or magnetic lassooooooo till it goes all wiggly (ants) and then cut and paste elsewhere

And adding a bitof feather after you have traced round him never hurts (too much)... And it means your cut out will blend in a bit better :-)

Create a layer maskaround the outlines of the kitten, then feather the edges until the background disappears. This method has the advantage that it's non-destructive, so you can always restore the kitten if you cut off too much.
