Wait for Barbara's answer. I'm just posting the same flower
with a different background. Photo editing software makes
changing the background pretty easy.

I don't have a tool that grabs the commentary from the original
and places it into the new picture. The editor used to make the
new picture here does not keep the comments inside the picture
and does not provide a way to put the commentary into it. It's
older software made by Microsoft.

I need an editor that will keep the comments. I bet Barbara's
software handles such comments without having to use another
tool. Perhaps she can knows of such a tool and can help out in
that way.

Nice. :-)

With the white background, that makes it easy to pick it out and place
it on a new background using a transparency. That, I can do with
photoshop.

It's just that I can't get an initial white or solid background without
doing a lot of patient erasing to start with in many cases. Here is a
good example. The original background from this critter was similar in
color to the subject so it had to be erased by hand before I could use
it; I could not do it by color. He was then used later in a couple of
re-worked backgrounds as the black could all be erased with a simple
color choice and a giant brush.
