Photoshop now has an Automatic Background Removal tool. It isn't perfect, but it does a large part of the work for you.

With your layer selected, open the properties tab. If you do not have it available, go to Window - Properties.

Click on Remove Background. Photoshop will now mask out what it believes is the background for you.

Now you can go ahead and tidy up the mask.

Has to be a layer for the option to show.

If you open a jpg you will need to convert the Background layer to a layer first.

From the menu: Layer > New > Layer from background

Or click on the padlock in the Layers window.

This is really cool technology, I hope they continue to improve on this and make the selections better and better with new updates.

They keep getting better at this. I find that it works pretty good if your background isn't too busy.
