How to operate:
1. First, we open PS, import the picture we want to cut out, and use the magnetic lasso tool to select the rough outline of the character, as shown in the picture.
2. Since the magnetic lasso cannot control the details well, let’s use the “Edit in Quick Mask Mode” button, as shown in the figure.
3. In the mask editing mode, the selected area does not have any color, but the non-selected area is pink, so you can use the brush and eraser to modify the details, change the foreground color and background color to ensure that our selected area is correct.

5. In the mask editing mode, white represents erasure and black represents pink. As shown in the picture below, we change the foreground color to black and then fill it with a brush, so that the filled area is pink.
6. Change the foreground color to white. At this time, the function of the brush is equivalent to erasing. You can erase the unselected parts. You can erase the areas that are difficult to deal with by holding down the left mouse button. Enlarge it, as shown in the picture.
