If the background is a blue screen, it will be easy. Otherwise, be ready to works hours and hours to make a proper selection that won't look strange. Of course if you're only printing 4x6 it's not a problem but for large format, you will have to make a meticulous selection, almost pixel by pixel.
I'm still searching for a solution on a picture of my daughter where she wear whool ... The problem is to select the background without selecting all those fuzzy whool thread. Since the picture was taken with an old and cheap point and shoot camera, there's also lots of chromatic aberations, which doesn't help.
To make a long story short, depending on the picture, photoshop may not always be the magic solution people think it is.
