I didn't compress the video so hopefully the quality will be good enough to see everything. https://www.dropbox.com/s/mu2nm8v8ovbwn53/book-render.mkv?dl=1 On Fri, Jun 29, 2018, at 2:03 PM, atticus wrote: > >Ok just re-read your post and you do not want to invert a selection > >(why??) > > > >Make the selection > > > >Copy it > > > >Paste it into a new canvas of suitable colour. > Because when I use the fuzzy tool it invariably selects some of the book as > well.
