You are on the right track. Your long exposure image in the lower layer, a cut-out of a person in the layer above. I agree that working on a laptop is not easy, a mouse makes a big difference.
The first thing is to understand the selection tools. There is some info here:

Another method is to use paths. More difficult for a beginner to use, but work well once you get used to them. There is some info on paths here:
