Does anyone know of a tutorial, or know how to:
- erase the background of an image (a good way for pictures WITHOUT solid backgrounds?)
- outline an image (whos background has been erased)
*BOTH FOR PHOTOSHOP

Here's a perfect example.


The picture is from the "Outlining Pictures" tutorial by maryissa from this site, which is a great tutorial, but it is for PSP, which I don't have. I'm looking for a Photoshop tutorial.

Thanks so much

to delete the bg:
1st, use the magnetic lasso tool to select around the image you want.
2nd, hover over the select tab [on the top] and click on inverse.
3rd, press the delete button to erase the bg.

to stroke the img:

For the border, just... Stroke it:

Edit -> Stoke (Outline) Selection
