Fuzzy select the background? Wrong tool to use for the type of image you posted. You would use that with a plain colour background. The example I gave just traces the book outline using the free select tool, could not be simpler. There are any number of ways to remove that background. From really basic - just use the eraser tool (carefully) - to probably what I would use, a layer mask and paint out the background. -- rich404 (via www.gimpusers.com/forums) _______________________________________________ gimp-user-list mailing list List address: gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
