The intelligent scissors tool

I am trying to "cut out" a person from a picture for use in another picture, but I can't find out to mark and copy using the scissor tool. How do I do?

It can be a little tricky sometimes, but the idea is to click on the starting point to close the loop, then click inside the boundary to create the selection. This has the advantage of allowing you to move nodes and edges after completing the loop and before creating the selection.

Cheers, Dave.
