Wanting to do some editing of photos by just selecting the actualy image ie: person, car, animal and then blanking out the background so its just plain white whats the easiest way of doing this so i am just wanting to keep the object but not the background thanks

Check the help function of your particular photo editing software. Most have a magic wand tool which will select areas of similar colour which can then be deleted. You will have to play with the sensitivity setting.

You could get Gimp and then check out the tutorials.

What software are you using?

The higher the colour contrast between your subject and the background, the easier it will be. It could be a doddle, it could be a bit more painstaking...

I've been struggling to use Photoshop 7 for a couple of years and back ground removal can be quite involved, it is not that easy

i use the magnetic wand to isolate the desired image, then copy to a new file (or erase the unwanted stuff).
then zoom in hard, and clean up the edges.

I struggled with photoshop 7, but I downloaded the evaluation version of photoshop elements 5 from adobe and it was a breaze. Can't remember which tool it was, but it was self evident.
