Whenever I cut out an image, say, of a horse to put it in a nice background, I can't seem to get it nice and smooth. Any tips? Edited at September 18, 2019 05:24 AM by Tanglewood

What software are you using / what site are you using?
If you have downloaded Adobe Photoshop or are using the online, free version Pixlr then they have a linear lasso tool that allows for neat, perfect cutting.
The linear lasso too operates on both via clicks. For the best results, use short-spaced clicks and zoom right in on the edges you wish to conform to. This is the method that many artists use to cut items and to select editing spaces.

I'm mainly using Pixlr. Thanks for the help!

If you use Pixlr you can use the 9fade brush that gives it a smoother appearance. Smudge on strength 100 also helps.

Ooh thanks! And does anyone have tips on how to make the mane look realistic? After I've cut it out it looks fake

Smudge on strength 100 size 1. Then when finished smudge it all with one giant brush. XD Smudge is your friend.

The smudge brush on Pixlr is very different to that on Photoshop. Even on 1% strength it basically decimates the object. I would not advise using the smudge brush on 100% at all. https://i.imgur.com/347oLAO.jpg
This is what the smudge brush on 100% does to your image. (Thank you Robert Downey Jr for a pretty example base).
Unfortunately bar using a very, very light blur and then drawing back the details, there isn't much of a way to achieve the same soft effect on Pixlr as there is on Photoshop. ~Running Free~ said: If you use Pixlr you can use the 9fade brush that gives it a smoother appearance.
