[Gimp-user] Cut out?

2010-01-23 Thread BGP
I have an image that I want to cut a part out of to use as a separate 
image.  The shape of the area I want to cut out and use is irregular.  
How can I cleanly cut out that part and copy it as a seperate image?

Select the part you want to copy, then Edit - Copy, then Edit - Paste 
as - New Image

To select irregular shapes, try the Free Select Tool and the quick mask.

Here's what I did (using GIMP ver. 2.6.8)

1.  Clicked  Scissors Select Tool

2.  Traced the outside of the object I wanted.

3.  Clicked Edit - Copy

4.  Clicked Edit - Paste as - New Image
