    For the channels approach, select the channel with the most "fill", duplicate it, then adjust the levels to create a solid black silhouette of the shape you're looking for. Use a brush to paint in areas that "levels" misses, then load the selection.

    That said, I mostly use that only to help isolate hair. The pen tool is my default approach to cutting out a person or object.
