Make a Selection ?????

2004-01-11 15:04:11

I'm having a problem making a selection. I want to remove the background from this photo of my granddaughter. I have worked on this about a week now to no avail. Sometimes I think I have it until I place a dark background in, then you see all the fringe. I want a very clean selection. I am using Photoshop 7 on a PC.

There's a very nice book called "Photoshop channel chops" that you would like.
