Firstly I clicked the select button on the tool bar, which then was a drop down

menu in which I picked the Colour Range option, this option allows to select the

colours in which you want to delete or edit accurately. After clicking on the

background I closed the colour range window and then back spaced the selected

which got rid of the grey background.

After I removed the main background, there was still some blurry bits that the colourrange did not select. So in order to get rid of the blurry areas, I used the eraser tool. In

order to get rid of the areas accurately, I had to change the sizes of the eraser just to

make sure that I did not get rid of parts of the actual image.
