Re: [Gimp-user] flat image bg color change

[Mark W]

I would use the path tool to trace the outline of the bottle, then 
change the path to a selection.  Then you can float the selection and 
put the layer on a different background.  The path tool takes a bit of 
practice but I think it will produce the best results in this situation.

Show us what you have.

Hi,
I would like to change the background color of a photo,
(preferably with a gradient or shadow effect)
but it's a single layer (jpg).  I tried to 'select by color'
and replace it, but the edges of the object in the foreground
turn out jagged and looks bad.  I also tried to invert the
selection and cut and paste it into a new image file, but it looks
just as bad.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom
