Using just the picture, not the background

Question

I want to use a picture I edited on Photoshop, but not the background. How do I use JUST the image?

Answer 1

The only way you can really do that is to cut out the background and save the image as a different file name.  That way you still have the original image intact.  I would recommend using GIMP.  It's free and really easy to use.

Answer 2

Just use Photoshop's Magic Lasso tool or similar and outline the image you want to keep. Cut it with Ctrl + X, do a Ctrl + N for new image, set image size, and then do a Ctrl + V to paste.

You may have to do a Ctrl + a few times to edit out the edges of leftover background.  Then you might want to maybe feather/smudge the edges to smooth over the sharp cut.
