- The usual "Lasso" selects fragments of any shape. Press the left mouse button along the desired path.
- "Polygonal lasso tool" - selects polygons, i.e. straight lines.
- The "magnetic lasso" is used to highlight parts of the image with a clear outline. Click the border of the contour along it – the point of automatically allocating'll be docking in to the contour of the object.
Select the "Magnetic lasso". And, as described above, click on the contour edge of the allocated object along it.
By selecting a small fragment of the object, close the contour by mouse clicks away from the edge of the object (not inside), go back to the starting point and press "Enter".
Clear the selection by pressing the Delete key.
Proceed the same way further, until only the desired object. Some elements of the background can be deleted by selecting them using the Magic wand tool (second column, second button from top panel "Tools" and the button "Delete".

Note
Answer: Magnetic lasso selects fast, but very poor quality. Another minus: it selects, pixel by pixel, and after the removal of the remains of a step edge. Slightly better highlight the regular lasso. But also uncomfortable. Qualitatively distinguishes participants only the Pen Tool). Hit F7.
