  • GIMP tutorial on how to make a cut out of an image with the lasso tool/ free select tool. In this GIMP how to I show you not just how to make a cut out with sharp lines but also how to make a cut out of a picture of cute furry animals. I use a cute kitten as example.
    You can use the same technique to make a cut out of a cute kitten or dog photo in Photoshop.

    Thanks mate . I have found another easy way.
    1-open your image
    2-right click layer,then transperency,then add alpha chain
    3-select fuzzy select tool
    4-delete
    5-save
    thats it

    I use gimp exclusively - great software. And I have been avoiding cutting out people and moving them, but just the feathering tip worked wonders. You have expanded possibilities with Gimp. Thank you for the great video. Cheers Rick - one suggestion: introduce yourself at the beginning of your video. Thank you.

    Followed the steps perfectly, pressing delete does nothing. FML. Thanks for the vid anyway, good stuff.

      If delete doesn't work, right click on the unselected section, go to edit and press CLEAR. it should work

    Thanks for the video. *FOR USERS OF 2.10.3 AND HIGHER* . Once you have completed the loop on your selection, you need to choose another tool from the tool bar in order to change the selected area to dotted line (now it is active). Hopefully the nice people at Gimp will sort this out in time.

    Hi, I'm trying to take an image of a person and lay it onto a scenic backdrop. I'm following the instructions here but when I use the lasso tool and then invert selection and delete everything around what i've lassoed, I wind up with nothing but white space there. I can't get that white space to show the background scenic image. Any suggestions?
