Put the photo in photoshop. As you can see in the photo some color is different from the clothes of the woman, then that area will be easily selected but the background color gets dangling on the other side, so selecting that area is a bit difficult task.

Setting Up tool
In the above tool, make the brush hardness 100% and change the size of the brush according to the photo, because the size of each photo is different, you cannot use such a large size brush in a small size photo, so brush Size according to the photo.
In the next tool option, continue sampling and select Find Edges in Limits and set Tolerance to 20-25%
Note: Tolerance tells Photoshop to what extent to clean the dangling color of one color, the more you select it, the more similar color it will clear.

Note: You keep enlarging the brush according to the need and you can also zoom the photo so that you do not clear the photo by mistake {if anything goes wrong, you can also back it}
Choosing Effective limit and sampling settings
Although I used a small brush to work around the hair and neck area, the Background Eraser tool cleaned up some of the hair and shirt.
Note: You have to adjust the Sampling andLimits in the photos whose background and the color of the photo are dangling.
That’s why I have reduced smapling to once and limits to Discontinguous and Tolerance to 30% in this photo.
After this, background removal from your photo will be done easily.
