GIMP automatically saves all existing paths as clipping paths when exporting to TIFF. Hence all you need is: 1. Make a selection around the object any way you prefer. 2. Choose 'Select -> To Path' in the menu. 3. Export as TIFF. Note that the selection should be quite clean. You can test this: 1. Convert the path to selection (from Paths dockable dialog, right-click menu or the bottom toolbar). 2. Press Ctrl+I to invert selection. 3. Press Del or Ctrl+X to remove the area around your original selection. That will give you an idea how the clipped object will look. Alternatively you can run a desktop publishing app, create an image frame, load your TIFF file and apply the clipping path.
