Thanks but I already tried this man. The problem here is that you still get a white matte around it. I did a remove white matte on the layer but it just kills it.
Thanks anyways.

Then go to Layer/Matting/Defringe.
OR your next best option is to channel mask if you know how.

yeah that will be your "little" secret

now with a black background
like i said
"select color range"
between 100-200%--------------------------------...
like i said, that doesnt work. Look at how bad it looks on a black background.

Your mask quality will always be reflective of the image quality. Can you get your hands on a higher res version of that image.

mynx, I wish. I pulled the image off of Google.
I'm going to keep messing with it I guess. Seems like the way I've been doing it for years is the best way. I just wanted to check if there was a better way that I wasn't aware of.
Thanks man.

try using your 'blend ifs' under layer blending options.
it will allow you to fine tune your matte across all three colour channels (and grey).
hint: option(alt) drag the arrows to split them and adjust ramp-in/ramp-out

I'm sure there are a hundred ways to do this, but I would copy the image, paste it into a new channel, increase the contrast with curves until it's black and white. Some painting may be necessary. Then invert the channel and use it as a selection

Annoying voice but always right on.
This technique works pretty well.Quicktime movie lesson.

ffs, that really is an annoying voice! nice technique though.
it's curious watching other people use PShop, especially when they're avoiding shortcuts for the sake of clarity..
I think that's the first time I've seen the 'Deselect' and 'Channel Mixer' set-options being used!

yeah
great technique but get someone else to narrate!
- YOTS0
That technique is awesome but that guy is a fucking jackass! What the hell is wrong with him????
