Struggling with image manipulation softwares to cut the background off your photographs was the old method. It is not something you should do when you have Instant mask with you.

Instant mask is fairly easy to use and removes the background from pictures effectively. It works best when the background is of some distinct color or has a clear sharp boundary with the subject.

Again, Instant Mask offers a freeware version with sufficient features also.
