Photoshop cut out image

Dear all,

I have a question regarding cropping an image with complex lines. The image is in a High Resolution PNG. The design needs to be printed on one side of an enamel mug. I tried cropping it using the Magic Wand tool via Help > Adobe Help > Remove Background, but this is not precise enough. The client does not have any image other than PNG or JPEG.

I want to crop it using channels; can anyone give me a tip on how to do this as accurately as possible?

I have attached the PNG as an attachment.

    Just an observation, and probably not very helpful but, given the appearance of that artwork, I find it very hard to believe it was originated as a bitmap… more likely whoever designed it for your client provided them a low-res PNG/JPEG proof of a vector file.

    I think you are using the wrong word for what you are trying to do. Cropping is done with the Crop tool, not the Magic Wand.
