Clipping mask aka cutting out more than one part of an image

I have a photo where I need to cut out an image (a person), then I need to "cut out" the space between the arms and the background (so it looks like the person is floating, not attached to a background). Does this make sense? I have tried everything and I can't figure out how to do it.

Thanks.

Photoshop is probably the best application to do this.

But if you want to do it in Illustrator:

Create the contour shape of the person. Create the shapes for the space between the arms.

Select the shapes and choose: Object > Compound Path > Make

Make sure th at the compound path is above the image.

Select both and choose: Object > Clipping Mask > Make.

Could I trouble you to tell me how to do this in photoshop? I just tried doing what you said and I am clearly doing something wrong (it tells me I can't make a compound path within different groups (?). I know I have done this before, but maybe it was in photoshop -- I just can't remember how to do it. Thanks so much.

In Photoshop you can create a Selection (With Quick Selection Tool, Magic Wand Tool, Polygonal Lasso Tool, … or whatever you prefer) and apply it as a Layer Mask to a Layer (if it is a Background Layer double-click it to change it to a regular one).

On that Layer Mask you can paint with white to show, black to hide.
