You can select a category and only see what's in that category. If you expand Library you can see all these different categories. You can select Library here and you'll see a list of all of the different Actions. If you don't see your library here on the left you can click this button to Hide or Show it. To create a workflow you basically drag and drop actions from the left to the workflow on the right. On the right side you can see the workflow. Actions are the building blocks of a workflow. On the left side you can see a library of what are called Actions. So we'll be creating this in Automator and also using Automator to run it. We're going to start with the simplest kind. There are various other types of workflows that will appear in different places. Quick Actions will appear in context menus, the menu bar here under Services, and you can also find them in the Finder in some cases. The third type is Quick Action which used to be called Services in earlier versions of macOS. You also can drag and drop files onto an application which can be handy. You don't need to run Automator to use it. So after you create it you can actually just run this application and it will run the workflow. The second type, Application, is a stand alone file. That's a document that you would open up in Automator and you can run it in Automator but you need Automator to do it. The first type is just called a Workflow. That's your script for actually doing things. You can create what are called Workflows in any one of those. You have to choose which type of document you're creating. When you start Automator or create a document in Automator you're faced with a decision. So Command Space and then search for Automator.
I'm going to launch Automator using the Spotlight menu. So here's an introduction to getting started with Automator. So if you've never used Automator before it could be a little intimidating.

Once you're done, release the mouse button and if the contrast is reasonable Preview will snap to the outline. Pick it, then draw carefully around the outline of the object you want to isolate. The newer feature is called Smart Lasso, and you access it from the selection drop-down at the left of the tools toolbar in Preview. It’s likely you won't get all the background on the first go, and there's no way to add to a selection like in Photoshop, but all this means is that you do it in stages select a bit, hit Delete, select the next bit, Delete, and so on. Click and drag on the background, keeping an eye on the edge of the thing you're trying to cut out. Open your image in Preview, and click the toolbox icon top right then the magic wand tool. The first is Instant Alpha, used for removing backgrounds handy when you've been given a flat JPEG of a logo on white, say, but need to put it on a coloured background. In fact, its two tools can actually be surprisingly effective on not-too-challenging files. Of course Photoshop and its competitors are the daddy when it comes to isolating portions of images, but if you don't have one of these, or if you're just doing a quick-and-dirty job for a mock-up, say, then reach for Preview.
