Hi Tom - Another trick is to select around the person using the free select (lasso) tool, and fill in the blanks with the resynthesize plugin. Be warned, this can take forever, and probably won't work on large images, because you'll wind up swapping on practically every pixel, but for small areas in modestly-sized images it works wonders.
Note - this plug-in needs to be tracked down and installed separately. It winds up in <Image>/Filters/Map/Resynthesize -- --Jeff Jeff Trefftzs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.tcsn.net/trefftzs Home Page http://gug.sunsite.dk/gallery.php?artist=68 Gimp Gallery http://trefftzs.topcities.com/home.html Photo galleries _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
