Default Photoshop experts please!!

Urgently.

I need to cut out an object from its background accurately. Whats the easiest way to do this?

I've tried using the Magnetic Lasso tool, but as soon as you get one marker wrong, you're bollocksed. Or can you go back somehow and move the markers once you've finished the trace?

Or is there a better way?

I'm using CS2 by the way.

If you get one wrong press delete to back a marking.

Also Christian, once you have made your selection you can right click your selction and click transform selection. From there you can right click your selction and it should give you the following options.

Warp, Skew, Rotate, and some more which I've forgotten.
