probably u can try by using the magic wand to select any area that u would like exclude, then press Q to apply quick mask mode...the red color part will d one that you would like to keep, use the eraser tool to deselect/select the parts you want...i'll usually use this method to get rid of the background of complicated images such as human...

Try not to select images by using the magic wand tool, you will definitely get an image with jagged edges beacuse you're directly selecting the pixels, not the image overall. If you want to save your image with the foreground only as selection and in jpg format, as Etsuko mentioned, use the path tool and save it. You can always edit and create a smooth and accurate selection whenever you want to and the size of your file will be smaller.
Both are actually the same

There is another way to edge out or selecting complicated images like human hair by using the combination of Path and Channel. This is a PRO's technique and you need a lot of patience.

mmmby using magic wand...it gave u the ability to roughly select the part of the image u want...the u can blow the image up to like 2000% and erase the edges...u wun get jagged edges...as a matter of fact...you would get an image with a erfect crop...coz as far as i know...there are still many peeps out there whom are not really familiar with using the photoshop's pen tool...
