The trick AFAIK in this kind of game is to make an accurate selection. If your hand is steady with your mouse/tablet, use the Lasso and trace the stuff you want copied. If your hand ain't so steady, try the "Magnetic Lasso" to detect the edges of your image and make the selection go around those edges such as Bin Laden's beard. If you are lucky, you can get a good approximate selection that way. Then just use the Add/Subtract stuff and something simple, like the Rectangular Marquee, to carefully refine your selection pixel-by-pixel. Since you are a beginner (I'm not very good myself and only know the theory of making a really good cut) this will take you forever or maybe you won't make it at all. The more time you spend, the closer to perfection you can come to.
