You need to know about masking, layers, and some other basic Photoshop features but the pain is that it is at times tedious to isolate the bits that are outside the bounds. That can be a bit of a pain but overall but it's not too difficult. Coding up an algorithm to make the tedious part easy would be quite challenging though. Photoshop does a pretty good job at it and I end up not using it because it's just not good enough yet except for the simple edge detection. I'm sure they've dedicated plenty of thought to the problem and if they've only gotten as far as they have it's a sure thing it is far from trivial to pull off in a completely automatic fashion. Definitely an interesting problem though... Doing it in photoshop (or paint shop pro, etc.) is pretty straightforward.

I have no idea how hard it would be, but it would be insane to write a program that would analyze boundaries of an image and automatically "box" a section of an image. Even with user guidance of how the image edge algorithm decided on edges it would be pretty nice... This is extremely cool!
