Extracting Image Background?

snames · 12-03-2004

There are 2 buttons underneath the colour picker boxes.. one turns the image mask mode on.. the other switches back to normal mode.

So you click it on.. paint ( it will mask it in a red color if you are doing it properly ) and once all the bits you wish to mask are painted you switch back to normal mode and it will be a selection

If you paint the background you wish to remove with the red mask.. then when you select normal mode the background will be what is selected.. so simply invert your selection and then you will have the actual image selected.. then you can just cut and paste it onto a new file with a transparent background or onto whatever you are working on.
