Answer
hi,

copy the picture you want to work with (look at your layors palette and press the postit looking thing on the bottom).

turn the original layer off by clicking on the eye. (this is just so you have another copy incase you mess up

make a new layer, drag this one to the bottom of the layers

get your circle marquee (look at the tool bar and find the dotted square, hold that down and grab the circle one when you see it.

drag a circle around what you want in the circle picture (shift and dragging make perfect circles).

press shift + ctrl + I (or select, inverse)

press delete

done ;)
