Pick the selection tool, which is the one that lets you draw those dashed boxes around things. Hold down the tool button and change it from rectangular to freehand.

Draw a dashed line around the head. Make sure not to select any part of the body.

Go to edit -> free transform. You should see dots on the corners of part you selected. You can drag these around to change the size of what's selected. By holding shift before and during your dragging, you can preserve the relative dimensions of the selected area.

When it's the right size and in the right spot, click outside the selected area to make it go away.

and if you need a simple way then just ue your crop tool.zoom into the pic and crop the part that you want to split from the other then once you do that then just make the selection and split the layers by pasting it onto the new layer,if you copie it and there is still one print on the old layer then just hit erase while its still selected.

This is a longshot, but also the perspective tool can do some size/proportional correction...Use it sparingly, however...
