Do a search for Gimp + remove background or Gimp + extract foreground, the two are roughly the same, depending on the image. For a book with straight edges, use the free select tool clicking in the corners produces straight lines. as screenshot 1 When complete, Invert the selection, Select -> Invert fill with white (or black) screenshot 2 Then turn the selection off. Select -> none Any number (and better) ways Attachments: * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/961/original/01-select.jpg * http://www.gimpusers.com/system/attachments/962/original/02-select.jpg -- 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
