    What I was always told with photoshop, is to create a new path layer under the path tab ( should be next to your layers and channels ) and outline the person with the Pen tool. A good Pen tool will give you a clean selection, and you can use pixel feather to soften the edges needed. At the bottom of the tab there is a dashed line circle that you click to get the selection, go to your layer you want to select from in the layer tab and off you go!

    I also have been told that there is no quick fix to cutting people out, the pen tool has the most power in my mind, but it all takes time.
