Photo Cleanup

How do I cleanup some of the edges around these images?

I normally zoom into into the image (5000%) and use the eraser (1px) and remove pixel by pixel. Works excellent because PSPP has a big advantage: I mark the size of the eraser, go to that part of my image and scroll a bit to get the proper size.
If you have good visible contrasts (like the grey and white in your image), then you can use the background remover tool. But at the end, I always have to remove pixel by pixel from the edges.

You could try using vectors to outline the shapes and then create selections from those vectors to erase a thin layer of pixels from the edges. It's a little time-consuming to adjust the various vectors around. But the process is simple.

If you were at all interested in learning this method I could send some basic videos on the different tools involved.

If you are using PSP X2 Ultimate, you may want to use the imageskill's background remover.
