Start up photoshop and open a new document and post this picture

Then Using the magic wand tool [IMG]file:///C:/Users/Khaled/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg[/IMG] select the portion above her head

now hit delete to clear the selection and you should end up with something like this

now using the Magic Wand Tool select the portion on the left side

then do the same as the previous step and hit delete

after that using the magic wand tool hold shift and select all the parts in the background then hit delete

now select the eraser tool and clear all the bits of mess left behind

now get a cool background i used a nice tree and mountain background

and paste it into the picture youll probably get this

dont worry its because we placed the image infront of the picture and not in the back. Go to your layers palet locate the layer we just pasted and drag it under the images layer

you should now see the background image is behind the picture all you have to do now is move the background image to fit your liking enjoy!

if you want the psd hit me up with a pm

Nice artical, although there is another way in which you can also get rid of those pesky little bits which also get rid of the bits you wanna keep just press D then Q then colour in the bit you wanna keep and it should be a transparant red then when your done press Q again then DELETE and the bit around it will disappear :D

it's not a very well cut out picture, but that's the main point of it. the eraser has some more options that will help it look more real. also, you forgot to erase some grass around the hair
