Reply #3: I use CorelDraw, so some terms might be different.

In CorelPhotoPaint, I would use a mask.

There are a number of ways to mask. In Corel, the easiest way to mask is with a tool called Magic Wand. If the color differential is big enough, you just tap the figure with the magic wand, and the mask is drawn precisely around the figure. Then it just a matter of cut and paste to the new background.

If the color differential is not large enough, or if the edges are blurry, you may need to freehand on the mask.

Hope this helps. The concept would be the same in any photo manipulation program.
