Hi guys,

The picture below is a black and white photo of Bruce Lee. Am having a hard time removing the background since it's a black and white picture. I tried magic wand but it's messy. Tried to use the background remover tool still messy.
What procedures can i do to remove the background of this pic?

Thanks in advance.^^V

Trace around the object with the pen tool and apply a layer mask to the background.
