Gimp 2.8 is doing its best to annoy me. Do any of you have any tips? (I have googled the manual and it didn't help.)
What I want to do is separate an object from the background. I've tried intelligent scissors and pressing clear just clears the lot, rather than the background. Ditto free select. And I just end up with a trailing free select lasso over the object I want to separate.
Because you were using the clear function, you should have inverted the selection before doing the clear, then the bit that you wanted would have remained.
Thanks,
I tried that with intelligent scissors on the original photo. Nothing. Tried it again with free select and that worked.
