Just ran into that time again when I want to preserve the shadows in a nicely backgrounded image. I usually end up saying, "screw it," and mask out the object and add in a fake background. Blah.
To select pixels based on their "brightness" (luminosity), ctrl-click the RGB channel.
To keep the shadows, invert the selection, and combine it with a masked layer of the object in question.
