After you define your selection (cutout), copy
the selected object by typing...Ctrl+C...
(Also...you can add the cutout as a separate
layer to the original image by typing...Ctrl+D)
Now... open a blank canvas by left clicking
the "New" button (or Ctrl+N)...and Paste the
cutout...Ctrl+V...the blank will autofit the cutout.
You can smooth the edges of your finished
cutout by going to...Effects / Edges / Soft...

So the simple steps are...
1) Define your selection with the
Advanced Selection tools...
2) Ctrl+C

Now you can save the cutout and use it as
required...File / Save As...if you wish to
preserve the transparency...save as .gif or
