It turns out that the Convolver Tool is what I was looking for. I
tried the Bezier Tool and I just couldn't get the hang of it. Maybe it
is an aquired thing? What I am doing is blanking out the background
with a brush and then coping the picture and pasteing it into the other
picture. From there I would go to the color selector and select the
background color and then do an EditCut and that would get rid of the
background and leave the rest of the picture. I couldn't get all of the
background out like that. That is where the Convolver Tool made all the
difference.
Thank you Phyllis and Sandip! I have been trying to figure this out
for about a week. For some reason it just didn't click until I read
your responses and now it all seems so simple. I have already done
about 5 pictures in the past hour since recieving your emails.
Thanks again!

Hi Brian-- My suggestion would be to:
1. Use the Bezier Selection Tool to select your girlfriend in the one
picture
2. Next, feather the selection by about 5 pixels (right click and choose
selectfeather).
3. Copy the selection (EditCopy)
4. Paste it into the other picture (EditPaste)
5. If your girlfriend's coloring doesn't quite match the coloring of the
folks in the other picture, correct her tone using levels
(ImageColorLevels).
6. If it still looks like your girlfriend is pasted into the picture, blur
the edges a bit by selecting a small brush using the Brush Selection dialog
box (DialogsBrushes), and using the Convolver Tool. (You can also try
applying the deinterlace or despeckle filters (FiltersEnhance) to blend her
in better.)
Good luck!
Phyllis

Subject: Transparent background?
Hello all,
Could somebody help me out? I am trying to cut a person out of one
picture and put it into another picture. I used to do this with gif's
and web pages by makeing the background all one color and assigning the
color as transparent. I am trying to do that in gimp with two seperate
pictures. I have my girlfriend posing in one picture and I have taken
pictures of different places that I would like to paste just her on top
of the other pictures and have it look like she was actually there.
I am current using gimp version 1.0.4. Does anybody know
an easy way
of doing this?
Thanks in advance for your help.
