For basic sprite and background ripping your main focus should be SceneViewer, which is easier to isolate and save to an appropriate paint or photo editing software.
"Screen" shows the entirety of the current SaveState with 16-bit and 8-bit options, both of which only serve to switch between alias and anti-alias during display. The Layering box works similarly to the limited disabling capabilities of SNES emulators such as ZSNES in that they only disable what is currently mapped to those layers.
"Layers" focuses on three aspects of the state; the regular background, the sprites, and Mode 7 effects (If implemented).
Regular Background mainly uses the first of the four "Bg" modes both for main background and foreground where sprites are normally mapped to. The third is often reserved for text or dialogue boxes depending on the game being ripped.
Sprites occupy a different layer and separated into parts to be disabled by the list next to the viewer's display window. To easily locate and disable any sprites that overlap the ones you wish to rip, simply move the cursor over to that sprite and press tab until the number the sprite is mapped to is highlighted, then press the spacebar to uncheck it.
Finally, Mode 7 backgrounds are for backgrounds or sprites that have been assigned to the SNES' Mode 7 capabilities, displaying their original, unaltered ratio either as a fully visible image, or in chunks viewable only when necessary for the current scene.
