1. Okay, so firstly you need to open up the image you would like to use. I recommend that you start with an easier image. I will be using this image of Jennifer Aniston.

2. Now you need to click on your Selection Tool, which can usually be found on the right hand side. There are three different choices here, we are going to go with Freehand Selection

3. Change your settings so they match below:

4. Now we are going to select the image (Jennifer Aniston). Using your cursor, click around the outside of the image you would like to cut out. It's best to go a bit inside the lines, to keep things tidy. It should now look like this:

5. Copy this, and paste as a new image (Ctrol + V)

6. This step is just to " tidy things up" and does not need to be followed if not needed.
Select the Eraser Tool, and go around the edges of your image if you feel it looks untidy.

And there you go! Next step will be to use your cutout on a vector image. Tutorial on that will be up soon! Hope this helped you. Feel free to ask if you need help.
