well it's different for different ppl...like for me i can never have a steady hand when using the lasso tool, but u may have one. and if u do it's the fastest way.

i use the bg erase tool and set it to big so i can erase the entire background of the image then zoom in to get the outline background of the image. but this one takes time and patience 'cuz u'll probably mess up a couple of times, like i do most of the time.

there's another way too that i'm not too familiar with which is why i didn't mention it but it's like there's a command on the toolbar somewhere that makes u select like the colors in the image and selects ur picture. but i dunno where that is and how to use it. if u know what imma talking about, use it.
