I am trying to cut an object out of a photo and make the background completely transparent using GIMP.
When I open the software, I get instantly overwhelmed by all the different selection tools. I have no idea which one I should actually be using.
What is the simplest, most foolproof method for a beginner to cleanly remove a background without leaving horrible, jagged edges around the subject?
There were many methods for selection in GIMP that used to confuse me. But I wanted the easiest method of selection. But after getting aware about the fact, I realized that if I create the Alpha Channel and then select my object using the Foreground Selection Tool, then it will be easier for me. After selecting my object, all I needed to do was delete the background and smoothen the edges of my selection. The image was saved in the form of PNG file format to keep the transparency.
That must work. I’ll try this fix. Thanks👌
