I would like to know if it is possible to take an ordinary gif pic like a cartoon and cut the cartoon figure out of it? Then I could place it on a transparent layer. If so can someone tell me how? Thanks, Scott -- Scott (via www.gimpusers.com) ___

What kind of outcome are you expecting to get when stroking a path with a selection tool? I can't think of why you want to do this? Maybe someone can help you if we know what it is that you are trying to accomplish. -- jolie (via www.gimpusers.com)

Hi Scott, You need to make a selection of the cartoon figure. Check the gimp manual on how to do this, there are too many ways to explain all here. Then go to select float. Then create a new layer. Make the background layer invisible or delete the background layer if you no longer need it.
