I don't feel like cutting is a lair specific thing or really novel, so here's a cutting video for Photoshop.

I can't find the nature brushes I used on the temple
It had grass, ground, leaves, water. At least that's how I used it. Anyone know of this brush? I can't find it again. I need it for the farm.

Polygonal Lasso Tool for cutting is the best I find, if you’re bad at it the cut will look very straight or square in places, but when you get used to it you’ll get really fast and smooth and you can always clean bits up with the Brush Tool.



This was all cut out today with the Polygonal Lasso Tool and then sharp bits etc smoothed out with erasers or brush tool on low opacity.

Polygonal Lasso Tool for cutting is the best I find.

That's what I use when I decide to effort, along with layer masks so I can go back and fiddle with something if it looks wrong.
