I had a quick go this morning using some of the techniques I mentioned.

Is this the kind of thing you want to do?

If you make it none-destructive it's easy to change it to, for example,  a PNG with a transparent background.

Difficult to see without seeing the original.

One way might be to Select > Subject, then press Q to select Quick Mask Mode and paint back in the missing bits (press X to go back and forth), then Q again to go back to the selection.

Here's the original pic. I simply used object selection tool (lasso) to select the subject then I inversed the selection then I simply pressed delete but that didn't fully deleted the contents of the selection. I thought those things happen only in borders for fading purposes why it kept things literally in the middle of selection 😐

Having made your selection, as described, you would apply a Layer Mask to apply the cut-out (and it would also be non-destructive).
