Okay i have a quick ?'s-------> i used the Lasso Tool to highlite One person rite------> and then after that i'm trying to put them into a plain Background color! and add aonther person on next to that person!

but i got lost on what to do next after i have selected just the person itself! i don't know how to cut them out and but it onto the new background image.

and how do i make the person to be so that the edges of the person i selected will be smooth edges instead of sloppy one of course..because the lasson tool isn't necessary croping the person that great!

Can someone tell me this? please!

You can use Extract filter - you have to highlight person's silhouette and then fill the outline - you'll get the person extracted from the background with smooth edges (in fact to achieve good results you'll have to get some experience with it - for example different outline width will give you different edge accuracy).

or, with selection active, just choose the "move tool" (the blak arrow in toolbox) and drag it.

Another good method is to use paths to select the people, and then a layer mask to separate them from the background. If you have any questions go ahead and PM me and I'll help out.
