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.
If doing something like that, I often find myself selecting the thing I want, doing copy, then paste - into new image. That way I get only what I want.
Gimp is very capable, but I don't have a clue how to use it!
Good luck
