Hey all,

I'm new and thought I would join when I realised I'm not as good at Photoshop than I thought!

I have an image and I'd like to remove the background. I've tried using the selection tools and rubbers but when I'm done it looks like someone a 5 year old has done it. In fact they would do a better job!

I've attached the image :)

Just wondering if there is anyone out there that could help.

Thank you! :)
Ben
