How to use selection brush tool to cut out an object from the background

How to use selection brush tool to cut out an object from the background to edit,rotate, place it in another image. I can select what I want

to remove but I can't locate the "delete" button to finish. There is a delete button I can see, but it is "grayed out" so I can't. I thought selecting 

part of an image meant I can delete it...true?  I get that the image has to be "unlocked" first to do this

Click the Delete key or Backspace key on your keyboard. Or use the menu, Edit > Delete.

Note that you need to be selecting from an layer that shows as a (Pixel) layer in the Layers panel. If it shows as (Image) you'll need to rasterize it first.

Thank you Walt... great,I am newbee and I never learned how to type in the first place did not realize the keyboard delete was connected to program in that way and I thought

all images were pixels and therefore rasterized already rasterized,  thanks again Leland
