Have you tried installing a border around the object of a color of your
choosing and making certain that the border is up-front?

Subject: [Gimp-user] Separating objects from the background
Hello,
I will have to redesign a site (shopping site) with white background color
and since the actual site uses photos of the product with the some
backgrounds (black, gray ... all monotone colors) I will have to remove it
and I don't know how to do this properly.
Lets say I have an example like this, an yellow oval shape over purple
background:

This object has an antialiased border to integrate smootely with the
background.
If I remove the background using selection tools in Gimp I will get a result
like this:

Wich is the result of antialiasing effect, and if I remove the purple color,
there is no way to remove it completely, some of it will stay:

I investigated and found that antialising effect changes Alpha values of the
pixels, so if I place any background backward, the object will adapt to the
background smoothely. Unfortunately, I already have background on my photos
and the object together in the image and I need to do the reverse, I have to
separate the object from the background, so I need to do something with the
alpha values of the border pixels, right now they are equal to 255:

How can I do with gimp to remove the purple color fully and convert the
borders where the object is merging with the background into pixels that has
Alpha values over yellow color instead of plain orange color ?
Thanks in advance.
Nikolai
