How to separate images

[Michelle234529424p3j]

I don't know if I'm saying this correctly.  When you purchase stock images (backgrounds) that have multiple images (backgrounds).  How do you separate them so that you can use 1 of the 3 images that you really like.  I am trying to make a book cover but I licensed a collection of 3 but I only want to use one of the backgrounds.  How do I separate it from the collection to use the one I want.  Please explain the steps or process.  I am a beginner with adobe illustrator, indesign and photoshop.  Any help will greatly appreciated. I have attached an example

Are these Illustrator files or Photoshop? If the latter, simply selected the pattern you want with the square selection tool, copy it, and either crop it or paste it into a new file. If they are Illustrator files, then they can be opened in Photoshop with the Open as... command. Then follow the steps mentioned.

Thank you so much for responding.  I believe they are illustrator files.  I will give it a try.
