This is what I have figured out in relation to – “using the Lasso tool and the Fill command, in combination with the Brush tool and the Eraser tool, to easily fill in the subject and delete the remaining areas of the background” –

You want the solid parts of the figure and the hair near the scalp to be filled in completely. I have found that using the pen tool to select the figure works well, then fill the selection in with the paintbrush or paint bucket. You don’t want to fill in any of the hair that may have white showing through it, or else it won’t look convincing when transferred to a different background. If you have filled in any part of the background, you will want to erase it.

Once you get it selected, go to Select>Refine Edge and play around with the conrtrols. This will give you almost unlimited control over the unwanted colors.

Sarah – seems like you are not going to get your answer. I too want that answer. the problem with to many tutorials is the expect us to have the “common knowledege” to do what they ask us to do.
