Thanks for this tutorial. I have removed simple backgrounds previously but used a VERY labor and time-intensive process. This saves time and effort and gives excellent results. Addition of shortcuts - BTW they work LinuxI Linux, too is superb. Your pacing and detail is spot on.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. This tutorial upped my GIMP game by a 1000Xs. I appreciate you giving so freely of your skills to make my life better. Kudos to you!!!!
Hi, Yjin Lim here. I'm considering going back to using Windows after installing Linux Mint, but after watching this video tutorial on using GIMP-a method similar to Photoshop-it's awesome! Thank you, sir, and keep up the great work. Watching from the Philippines.
I have never seen a tool that could extract hair details to the point of what we can separate with the naked eye, even not with AI (which should be able to learn if a grey tone belongs to the background or the forground). Gimp obviously ranks at the level of elderly Photoshop versions in this case. I left Adobe long ago, and Affinity and Gimp have become equally interesting as a replacement for Photoshop. What about separation via color channels in Gimp - is it possible? I think a mask-edges adjustment tool is missing in Gimp. Likewise the ability to add or subtract x pixels along a selection. Am I wrong?
Right after selecting my foreground, etc. I clicked on preview and it looked correct, but once I click on "Select" the system just does straight lines up and down across the image instead of surrounding my foreground. Causing none of the other steps to work. Can someone help me understand why it's doing this?
Hi, I am running gimp on ubuntu. I passed that step and reached the 'calculating' stuff. Then gimp hung up. Probably it requires too much from the computer.
Probably dont have the pc hardware that can compute the algorithms to do this. Edit this warning was in gimp documentation The foreground select tool needs a lot of memory for its processing, depending on the size of the image. It is known to crash or slow down when using larger images.
hi i have another lesson for you to teach us. lets say we have picture of a bride and groom, we want to remove the groom and in his place add add the back ground with the same back ground that is behind the bride in other words extend the back ground from the bride out to fill the blank thank you Chris
Was going to place thumbs down but, I will just state my grief. Spent an hour tring to locate image used to follow along. Clearly, it was stated the link was in the describtion below, yet even after going to every link listed (> 10) only saw a bunch of stuff that I have no desire to buy, nor would I trust them when I've been tricked into an hour of commercials.
Quite honestly, the background is TOO simple. Most backgrounds are much more complex, and this is not real world. Nice video mind you, but this background is too simple.

If only I had known about this sooner! I have been painstakingly manually doing it all these years.
Awesome tutorial, awesome guidance, awesome hints and shortcuts. Thank you.
Hair, fur, feathers... Thank you for posting such a great tutorial.

You can also navigate by pressing and holding the middle mouse button 🙂
Sir love your teachings
I did enter and it didn't turn any blue background. I belive that and step is missing.

@@enivaldobonelli make sure it says foreground select not background
Not working for me. I dont get the marching ants after i color in the body. Any help?
Make sure it says it's the foreground that you're selecting. not the background or anything else
Great video!
Love the video, but when I try it, Gimp keeps crashing.
Probably dont have the pc hardware that can compute the algorithms to do this.

jeez
I think the basics of photo editing is going to teach you better on what to do than specific gimp software.
is this is need internet connection
nothing ever happens when i press enter/delete
make sure it says foreground select.
If the background to be transposed to is plain white, it's going to look a little blurry no matter what, huh?
