Gimp/Photoshop-Cut out an image with free select tool/lasso tool (of furry cute kitten)

GIMP tutorial on how to make a cut out of an image with the lasso tool/ free select tool. In this GIMP how to I show you not just how to make a cut out with sharp lines but also how to make a cut out of a picture of cute furry animals. I use a cute kitten as example.
You can use the same technique to make a cut out of a cute kitten or dog photo in Photoshop.

For some reason I don't have that toolbar thing on the left, only the toolbox.

@Toxinia Look on my channel. There's a video on how to fix lost docks etc.

the outside wont go away!

@ChenGalaxy01 If you're on a Mac, go to edit>clear instead of pressing delete on your keyboard.

If you're not on a Mac then make sure you've made a selection. the line you've made with the lasso tool must be moving. Like a sort of moving dotted line.

do you know how to move what you select with the lasso tool? because in my drawing the legs of my character are to long and i want to shorten them without erasing it.

[GIMPtricks]

@7cloudvsleon8 First make the cut out. Make sure it's on its own layer, then select around the legs with the rectangle select tool. Then use the scale tool.
