Here are some of the simpler ways.

Open your image in PhotoShop.

Posibility 1 : Use one of the Eraser tools.

Make sure your image is selected otherwise you might get an error ... now use either the normal Eraser tool. The Eraser tool is next to the Clone Stamp tool.

Here's sceeny :

Posibility 2 :

Use the magic eraser tool... same as eraser tool only its more like the fill tool.

Posibility 3 :

Use a Layer Mask... it will make everything exept the selected area transparent... this is the most probabel method used to create that template that you posted.

Just select an area and then add the layer mask.

Spoiler for Screeny:


To make a more complex selection see the tutorial above... try doing a 1px stroke, so that the image will look nicer (the one you posted probably has one)
