In Photoshop, one of the tool buttons is called "Magic Wand Tool", it's near the top buttons.

This neat little button allows you to select one unicolored object completely. So lets say you have a red ball in the center of the picture, and an entirely green background. If you use this tool and select the green background, the entire green background can be edited, and the red ball will not be affected.

After the solid background is selected, you can erase the green, then you only have the red ball, and you can paste only the ball into some other picture.

That's kinda the gist of it, it's not the best explanation, but I think it should give you a good idea of how some of us do it.

I use after effects
briefly looked at the pen tool tutorial, and now that I know how to use it, it's my best friend

Unless the background and what you want to keep are quite different in colour, you'll usually wind up going in with a brush and painting the rest out yourself. That's something you can do in any program.

So, basically you're just using an eraser to remove the background. The magic wand does help though (as does the lasso), if you have it.

I think Paint Shop Pro and GIMP are the free equivalent of Photoshop I think.

Paint Shop Pro can be downloaded from download.com

GIMP can be downloaded here... http://www.gimp.org/windows/
