How do you cut out background ?

One way to do it if you want to save as a JPEG (which can't be saved
with transparent):
Cut away the background, create a new layer underneath the layer with the
cutout artwork on it. Fill that new layer with a colour which does not
appear in the artwork. Save as JPEG.
When you next want to use it over another photo, open the JPEG in PS,
select the filler colour with the magic wand, delete: hey presto,
transparent background again.
Remember that a JPEG deteriorates with every generation, though.
You could do the same with a TIFF, which does not.

How beautiful it is to do nothing, and then rest afterwards.
