How do you create layers from a picture that has been taking with a camera and transferred to photoshop??

I ask this because the backround I don't want, and I can't select the part I want with an elliptical tool and create a layer because the lines are really detailed.

Someone said using masks could do it, is there anyway someone could give me a few steps on how to apply that for what I need.

I am sure there are many other ways too, but I have gotten a few crappy books from the library on photoshop and am having trouble with this.

I am having a hell of a time selecting/deleting parts of a photo after I get it to photoshop

thanks

I don't really get what you're saying..But,
IF you want to edit some pictures you gotta do few steps..
And about reading books, Books are good
But you can find anything on the web, they are millions of tutorials for all kind of designing softwares
and photoshop

1. Open Image : Ctrl + O / File > Open
2. Duplicate the background Image : Ctrl + J
3. Under the duplicated layer put a colored layer or a background
4. In the Duplicated layer, cut whatever you want, circle, rectangle [you'll be able to cut bodies and faces later] you need to train and learn the basics of cutting to be a pro cutter.
5. IF you cutted the part you want it to appear don't worry, click on ctrl+Z or ctlr+alt+z then ctrl+shift+I to invert selection now hit delete.
6.after you delete the unwanted parts of image you'll get the part you want with a background in the back

Layer mask is more advanced, find a tutorial for it.
This is the easiest way..

I Hope that was helpful
contact me ASAP
