Use the lasso tool and make a rough selection quickmask it adjust the selection more precisely un quickmask it cut it out past as a new image on a tranparent layer insert a white layer underneath Then experiment with various tomato selection, selection shrinks etc, and then blur to make the edges soft You could use the foreground select tool for step one, but I think the lasso is the better option in this case Owen ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

Thanks, Phil. you could use one of the selection tools. Or ask google for gimp select object.
