I have just got Gimp and want to remove backgrounds of images.On the video

I only have the Toolbox on the left hand side. Help
What you want isn't removing the background, but extracting the
foreground :-) And there is a tool for this next to the scissors tool
(once your have a selection on th eforeground, your can invert it and
strike delete to remove the background).
I assume that the box on the RHS is the layer dialog, that let you
choose which layers are displayed. But this requires to already have two
distinct layers, one with your subject and one with the background.
Thanks for your reply.Please could you give me a step by step idiots guide for
doing this please!
Many thanks!
