Seeing as though you seem to be a Graphics Guru on here doing sigs, can you please help me out?

Im not asking you to do a sig for me, what i'd like to know is the following answer to this question:

Im assuming you are using Paintshop7...

How do YOU trim a car out of its background i.e. What tools and how do YOU apply them?

Cheers

The main thing im having trouble with it cutting a nice neat edge around an object to remove the background.

Ive tried using Extract but as of yet, i haven't managed to get it right, it still leaves some glitches around the edges...

If you could please help me with this technique i would be most grateful.
