1. Start with ladies.jpg. Use the Window menu to select it if it is not visible.
2. Activate the "Navigator" window by using the View Menu > Navigator.
3. Use the arrow slider to zoom in and move the red box to focus on one of the ladies.

Use the Polygonal Lasso to roughly select the lady. Don't worry about getting it perfect. We'll clean up the selection.
