I REALLY need to get better at extractions. Sometimes I do an extraction that looks good but it takes a ton of time, and I don't know how to use the pen tool, and I don't have a tablet, so I'm sure it could be easier! Basically what I do is this: I make a rough selection using the magic wand, then I go into mask mode, select various brushes, and paint away until I get the edges I want. This is not the best for things like hair, so I don't often extract pictures with hair or very fine details. This works OK for things with generous, broad edges.
