Re: [Gimp-user] Help needed with image manipulation

[Jeff Trefftzs]

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

When I do this, I simply clone over the person, which can be
difficult, depending on how big the person is and how complicated the
image is. I once removed a group of people in front of a building by
doing this.

My husband thinks I have a clone-happy hand! :-)


Good luck!

Judy

 Hi!  Ok, I have a JPEG with a person in front of a background.
 I want to extract the *background* and use it as the background for a NEW
 image I'll be creating.  Any tips on how to do this? I'm using GIMP
 1.2.3 on Linux.
