How can I single out and capture a particular object only within an image, and paste it over a new background?

In Photoshop, you want to create a clipping path. Google "clipping path" and you'll get plenty of tutorials.

Find the background you want to use, save it onto your computer.  Go to an image host site like www.photobucket.com upload the background there, take the url of the image and put it in this code:\n\n<body background=" URL HERE ">

look up the GIMP - it is a free download and almost as good as PhotoShop (when I last used PhotoShop, 2 years ago)

I know an easy way, you can actually push the "Printscreen/sysrq" button next to the scroll lock and open photoshop.  Once in photoshop open a new screen and push "ctrl + V" this will input the image into the sheet and you will have it to mess with.  The other way is too time consuming. It is too many layers of color and burning.

i don't know if there is an automated method for it...\n\nRight click the layer you want to save as a jpeg\n\nChoose duplicate layer.\n\nUnder the destination section set the document to "new"\ntype in a name and click ok.\n\nThis will move the layer keeping the dimensions and formatting.\n\nYou can save this new image as a jpeg\n\nIf you want to get rid of all the formatting then you can use CTRL+A to select your whole image.\nSelect a layer\nGo to Edit: copy\nthen File: new (just click ok when the dialog comes up)\nThen Edit: Paste

You can do it with JavaScript:\n\n<HEAD>\n<SCRIPT>\n  var backgroundset=false;\n\n  function fixedBackground(url)\n  {\n    if(!backgroundset)\n    {\n      document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';\n      document.body.style.padding = '0px';\n      document.body.style.margin = '0px';\n\n      var overlay = document.createElement('DIV');\n      overlay.style.position = 'absolute';\n      overlay.style.top = '0px';\n      overlay.style.left = '0px';\n      overlay.style.height = '100%';\n      overlay.style.width = '100%';\n      overlay.style.overflow = 'auto';\n\n      overlay.innerHTML = document.body.innerHTML;\n      document.body.innerHTML = '<img id="background" height="100%" width="100%" src="' + url + '" style="left: 0; bottom: 0; right: 0; top: 0; z-index: 0" />';\n\n      document.body.appendChild(overlay);\n\n      backgroundset=true;\n    }\n    else\n      background.src=url;\n  }\n</SCRIPT>\n\nThen in the BODY add:\n\nonLoad="fixedBackground('background.jpg');">

Assuming you are trying to create shadows onto the background of the objects you are putting.  ie. shadow of the person or car onto the background...\n\nYou have to make sure the ojects are actual cutouts.  In other words, if it's a picture of the car, you have a decent cutout or extraction of just the car and outline.  Then when you paste on the background, look at the layer menu at the bottom, it should have effects and just select drop shadow.  You can then adjust the property of the shadow (feather, opacity).

If using Windows, ALT-PRINT_SCREEN, will copy the currently selected window into the clipboard. If you want just the background, minimize all windows, etc.\n\njack573

There is a free photoshop like program called the GIMP\nhttp://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/\nYou would have to be quite expert at using a mouse to white out the background and then you could select that color to be transparent or to a reverse select to select just the rest of the picture.... a wacom tablet pen makes all this much easier.
