To all - Can we bring this thread back to being civil and less antagonistic please?

@M4R5 - I don't think that any of Sledgers replies have been unhelful or off topic, he has asked you to provide an example of what you're working on. There are people visiting this forum from all over the world and just because you've capitalised 2 words in your title (Erase Background) doesn't say explicitly that you are referring to the 'Background Erase Tool' as opposed to any other method of erasing a background. It is not until post 10 that you actually mention the Background Erase Tool.
