Thank you for this! My mom passed this week and this helped me edit her photos for the funeral. I know it's just a tutorial but it means a lot! Also your voice is so relaxing and the music too!
I'm sorry for your loss, and I agree, it's a great tutorial.
Damn! My condolences ❤️

There are many intelligent people in the world, but few great teachers left. Thank you for the great instruction.
I love the way you explain things for beginners like me in a clear, slow way. Easy to follow, really. But I also want to thank you for the music. I've seen so many great videos and tutorials ruined by awful electronic music that having something different to hear, and especially such a calm, wavy music, was also a great experience.
Hey there, Maria☺ Wonderfull comment 👌Thank you very much,I appreciate it greatly .I always try to find music that adds a little extra. I am glad you like it. Thanks again and have a great day. 👍
@@gimpworkshop9729 i really like your way of teaching... May I know if you also do this tutorial for Inkscape?
Best presentation of a TH-cam Tutorial I've seen. Thanks very much.
I'm so in agreement with this
@@gimpworkshop9729 yeah, me too. Great tutorial, great voice, good volume, good timbre, good content, thank you.
Do you know if the newer gimp versions will have intelligent foreground select options?
Absolutely incredible. Two days looking for an easy to understand, easy to follow tutorial on this and here you are making it so simple in less than 7 minutes. The other tutorials want to make this way over complicated. Thank you so much.
Totally agree, I had wasted half a day till I came across this one. I'm now relaxed again

Thanks for adding text instructions! Very helpful!!
Not only did I learn how to crop part of the image out and make the background transparent, I also feel more relaxed and somehow transcendental. Thanks for taking the time to make this video both informative and pleasing.
Thank you for being so thorough, calm and explain it both via voice and text. The calm way you tutored makes it easy to follow along.
Keep doing what you do
I am in awe at how well-made this tutorial is. Great pacing, clear instructions, relevant explanations. I even liked the music.
This has been a great instructional video! I want to lift my dog' pic from a background and put on a special background. She is decease and it will be such comfort to have a pic of her sweet face. Thank you.
I've searched through so many Gimp tutorials on TH-cam - I think I've finally found 'the one'! Thank you.
I love how you don't gloss over any step, no matter how insignificant. Sometimes those insignificant steps can be nightmarish when you're still in the learning stages so thank you!
You saved my day with such a clear and well presented tutorial : the pace is perfect, and as Maria Catry said, the wavy and calm music seem to help even more. Thank you again !!
Love how calm this video made me. Every other video i cant follow because of my adhd but you explain it so calm and proper!
so clear and concise and to the point unlike other Gimp tutorials out there that are convoluted and boring. This is the best I have found.
Best gimp tutorials on TH-cam. Simple, clear instructions, and very well edited.
This was a solid tutorial! The time was used well and it taught exactly what I wanted to know with no fluff. Nice job and thank you.
This is the most beginner-friendly tutorial I've watched! Thank you so much!
The video is so helpful. spent a lot of time watching useless videos but I'm grateful I came across yours. Thank you so much!
Very nicely done. U made it easy for a 67yrs old.

How we can use fuzzy topl to remove background please make a video about it
Hi@@abdallahtarek1213😄 Thanks for your comment. Maybe I make a tutorial about it in the future. Regards, Jan,GW.
I remember that if you select the picture and click escape background gets deleted (the easyway) which tool do I select I don't remember can you tell me which one?
Your English is very clear. I think this tutorial took work. Thank you.
Thank you for video it really helped, but a small outline of my image is still visible any tips on how to fix?
Excellent presentation! Very easy to follow and no time wasting - well done. Thank you!
OMG! THANK YOU!!!!!! I've watched about 20 videos about this and finally found this one that makes this process clear and simple!
Excellent tutorial. I am transitioning from Photoshop to GIMP, and I have found these tutorials extremely helpful and concise. Thanks a bunch!
I had been searching for hours for a good tutorial and this actually helped so much, thank you!
Really well done video, I'm off and running now. Thank you!
sir this is by far the best gimp tutorial I have ever watched. The pacing was perfect, I learned things that weren't necessary but increased the value of the photo, and I didn't even have to pause the video to keep up! thank you so much for the help!
I am a frustrated amateur artist transitioning from Paint.net to GIMP. I am happy I found your easy-to-follow tutorial. My goal is to prepare my art for t-shirt designs. Thank you. Best wishes to You for every success in 2020.
My favorite line in this is that backspace removes free select points.
Ive been starting over if I mess up on those by quickly connecting the circle and hitting select none.
As always 100% professional tutorial. Thnx 👍💗
Hello, jewo GRFS😉 Thank you for you very kind comment... 😍
I was looking for software programs to help me make multiple layer stencils and when I finally found Gimp it was like halleluja! But not having ANY skills doesn’t make it easy…
You’re helping me a lot with your tutorials. I still can’t make stencils yet but every day I watch and learn and I feel that I’m getting there! Thank you

This was perfect. Thank you so much for taking the time to make such a clear and helpful video. I'm a complete beginner on GIMP, and it took me forever to find a tutorial that was adapting its speed and language to beginners, and you were great.
Whenever I press 'clear' it turns into a white background instead of the checkerboard, anyone know whats happening?
Edit: Not sure what went wrong but I figured it out. After deleting the original background and it was still white, went to the top left and Layers > Transparency > Add Alpha Channel. Then just press delete again and got the checkered background
Bro same
Go to the layer window and click on transparency and add alpha channel.
Your comment saved me lol. I thought i did all of this for nothing at first.
@@advancedapathy7006 dude honestly thanks for replying to his comment. it was stuck as a black bg for me and i swore i had selected alpha channel. you're a lifesaver lol
I am new to GIMP and image manipulation. I appreciate that you went slowly and highlighted the tools and keyboard shortcuts. Very useful Thank You!
This wasn't the solution for my current problem, but you taught me various other helpful things. Thank you.
At last. Someone who explains step by step how to use Gimp...... Please do more.
These are the best Gimp tutorials around. Always my first choice
WOW! My sentiments exactly as Maria Catry. You have a really great training voice. Also, you are super easy to follow along. Another thing, you don't make your videos sooooo..... long like other videos. You get right to the point. Thanks a lot for being there for everybody needing help
I'm a true beginner and have tried several other tutorials before getting this one. This is the BEST ONE and I learned a LOT. Thanks!
Wow! It helps TREMENDOUSLY! You explained it so detailed and so well. It wasn't rushed and so there was time to understand every guided instruction. Excellent tutorial!!
Today I have looked at numerous tutorials for background removal and got pretty stressed with either the way it was presented or the music. This one ticks all the right boxes, the voice is so relaxing. Thank you so much for this video. I have liked, subscribed and shared. Great work
Very helpful, direct, and thorough but also concise. Perfect tutorial! I wish all instructions were this clear. Thanks!
Everytime i come back to GImp after a year i always need a refresher on transparency, this was perfect. thank you for the clear and concise tutorial! And alos love the chill music in the speed ups haha.
Nothing to do but to remark on how this will sound like everyone else, and restate for the 466th time that this video was perfect for my needs. Better than reading, and likely better than certain college professors that cost top dollar. Bravo!
Clear. Concise. Straight to the point. Very helpful video! Pleasant delivery and loved the music selection! Thank You!
I've been doing this for years, self-taught from videos - but you've mentioned a few points I didn't know about, so that's great. Excellent tutorial, thanks.
I'm a new gimp user making web sites and using gimp and inkscape. Ive learned a bit already but I think it would have all gone smoother if I'd found you sooner. Your simple direct and well paced demonstration is a total winner. First view on your channel instant sub. Cant wait to gain more knowledge of this great software! Thanks you deserve many subscribers I'm sure they will come..
This was the best GIMP tutorial I've ever watched! Thank you! I wanted to make a png of my dog that just passed away to use on my TH-cam videos so she'll always be there with me. Thank you thank you thank you!
great video. u nailed absolutely everything, from the clarity of the main instructions themselves to the great little bonus tips/hotkey pop ups thrown in from time to time. ill definitely be checking out more of ur content as i get more exposure to gimp
I went insane learning to photoshop, while watching this video, spent 4+hrs just for a webcam overlay, I have the background music memorized, Thank you so much for posting this, you deseve a lot more likes :)
Thank you for demo. It took less than 7 minutes to do the job. Other people used much more time that was confusing. They talked too fast and mouse pointer moved quickly.
You are the best. You speak, clearly show what tools you selected, and text message on the screen.
Thank you very much for this very clear, step by step tutorial. A person cannot go wrong if they simply follow your steps.
I look forward to more of your tutorial videos.
What an absolutely perfect tutorial, from start to finish easy to follow along and now I have my project done.
Thank you so much for this video. The way you explain everything in such a calm, slow fashion, made it easy for me to follow along and learn, reducing the stress I often feel when trying to learn new computer programs online. I hope you have more videos for gimp - I plan to watch them all :)
I watched 5 other videos on this subject before I found this one, which is by far the best. Thank you for the help.
Thank you for making a simple, easy to follow straight to the point tutorial!
first time using Gimp, following your instructions I was able to remove my background perfectly thank you,subscribed
The best and clearest explanation of how to do this on all of TH-cam! Thank you!
thank you so much! I've never done anything like this before. I did it while watching your video and was thrilled with the success. You explain things excellently.
I appreciate your time and patience explaining everything in this video. It looks like I have finally mastered this step! Thank you!!!
This was one of the best explanations of how to remove a background that i have seen.
Tysm I was seriously dying to find this and ur voice is so calming and the way you explained was really nice
U earned a new sub
out of god knows how many tutorials i have watched this is the only one that helped me thank you very much. much appreciate the teaching style to!
I've seen like 10 tutorials and only yours worked, thank you a lot
Thank you so much. Whenever I’d crop out an image it had a white background and I could place anything behind it. Because of this I fixed it, will be coming here for all my gum tutorials!
Smudge with a bristle brush! Thank you. I wish I had known that trick before. 15 years using Photoshop and Gimp and there's always something new to learn. 👍
15 years !!
At 4:36 I chose smudge-tool and it had effect only on the human face part --> not the backround part, into where I'd like to use smudge-tool to make hair more natural (there is no effect on the transparent alpha-layer with smudge-tool now).
Any ideas how to get hair more natural with smudge-tool ?
This the best video of GIMP tutorial I ever seen. The instructions are very clear with written notes. The technique is easy to remember as it is the best way to do it comparing to other techniques. No one can miss the instructions. It is better if this video also has instructions of how to insert new background together with main subject reducing.
It take me hours to try inserting new background and reducing the main subject. Moving object is also a problem as the background picture and the subject picture are not the same format. One is 4:3 while the other is 16:9. Picture trimming was required to cut the excess frame part.
Your explanation was simple, concise, and effective. Thanks!
This is easiest way I have seen to remove background. Very well explained
I "liked" and "subscribed", can't get enough of it! Thank you! At last!!!
I could tell from the first 30 seconds that this was going to be an excellent tutorial, and I was not disappointed. Thank you so much!
Wow! Such a great video that shows EVERY step!!! Thank you so much for taking the time!
your speaking style and way of discription is also humble and nice. love you
Thank you so much I was using this tutorial to put myself on a sweatshirt I’m creating for my mom for valentines and it works perfectly especially with the smudge tool!
Thankyou, for making something extremely complex for us beginner's into something that is so much easier to understand, instant sub.
Perfect video! Why in the world would anyone down-vote this video? Quick, simple, effective instructions!
Thank you. I was using the eraser to remove the background image but it’s very tedious work. I’m going to try it this way now. Thank you for taking your time and showing each process with explanation. You were very helpful.
Amazing tutorial, clear, step by step, properly explained, even if I have different version and my screen looks totally different, it was no problem to find things right away. Thank you
amazing video.... calmly and clearly explained step by step with a relaxing song playing in the background to help with how frustrated ive been with this program.
It is by far one of the best videos for beginners. Very pleasant instruction voice and good pace. Love the music as well. Thank you.
wow.... you really stop to make the explanation very clear, especially when you zoom in and color the box or show the subject. Best tutorial of youtube. Thanks for taking time to explain things. You explained so well even my granny know how to use Gimp now (LOL). I give a 10/10 score for this tutorial.
This is the best video on this I have found! Thank you for being clear and speaking slowly. You saved me from hurling my computer out the window.:)
THE BEST tutorial on how to remove background 👏👏👏👏
Such a clear and focused presentation-a good Teacher. Thanks. And thanks for the music--not fake, not mindlessly robotically looping. nice.
Excellent tutorial and great step by step instructions, with clues on how and why to make different settings. Thanks!
Thanks for making this. I would've never figured this out on my own in a million years!
really loved this tutorial, every minute detail clearly explained with great tips that most tutorials miss
Thank you for making a clear and straightforward video. You just earned a new sub!
Excellent, easy to understand steps. Thank you for sharing. I've now subscribed to your channel.
you have a very fantastic easy to follow tutorial, your method is outstanding. i have watched several GIMP tutorials, but yours make me learn easier and faster. your method for me is the BEST!
It was like I was in a meditation session. Love his voice.
Thank you so much man :) I was struggling with it before but after watching your video I made more progress with GIMP. BIG THANKS
YES! this is exactly what I was looking for. After a few false starts I will be using your tutorial from now on.
It has been so long since I have used Gimp... Thank you. Was easy to follow!
This was super helpful, thank you! I felt very comfortable using this tutorial.
Well done. I'm not a complete novice but your tutorial helped me with several issues like hair and removing areas includen the image. I like the use of the free select tool. Nice job!
You are jesus and saved me from watching a million useless videos as i did before i found this one. Thank you so much.
Thank you! I was going crazy clicking on all the buttons! Very calming and instructive at the same time :-)
Thank you for this easy to follow video. Your screen shots are clear and well done. I am a new subscriber!
Sir, you are the frickin’ man! Watched maybe 5 videos on this yesterday. All dog S compared to this. Perfect presentation style, calming voice, couldn’t have been clearer and bonus steps like feathering the selection to improve results. Thank you!
