1. tar question: how do I extract some files without extracting directories

For example, if I have foo.tar.gz consisting of:

foo/
    bar/
      baz/
        file1.png

What (GNU) tar options do I have to use to extract the file 'file1.png'
to ~/tmp without the directory hierarchy 'foo/bar/baz'?

Something like:

   $ tar zx ~/tmp/file1.png f foo.tar.gz   #This does not work...

Should produce:

~/tmp/
    file1.png

Any thoughts?

TIA,

    Erik.
