Advice on removing backgrounds?
#2
I usually duplicate the image layer, and then run either a Gmic stamp or posterize filter on it.  This just helps me quickly select the background areas.  Of course it always requires a clean-up.  Sometimes I adjust the brightness and contrast first to help make the foreground stand out.
   
   
Sometimes I need to feather a bit or blur or whatever.  No two images are the same of course.
If I use the posterize filter, then it is helpful because it is easy to drag the magic wand to get the area a want, and I have noticed that using 'select by Lch hue' works best in many situations.
