Post a link to the unaltered image so we can see what you are trying to do.

Background is important

Have you used the "Quick select" tool  to make the selection you are 

trying to extract, and then used the "refine edge" from the "Select" 

menu.

By adjusting the selection edge and adjusting the pixel size & 

feathering a bit you should be able to make a clean extraction.
