- 2. This tutorial will take you through the process of removing image backgrounds step-by-step using the freely available GIMP software. This tutorial assumes you are running the Windows version, but the concept applies equally to other versions of the gimp and other photo editing software such as Photoshop.
- 4. Step 1 - Select the Image Background Using the Fuzzy Select Tool select the part of the image that you wish to remove. The aim is to end up with an image which resembles the one below. You should have the "marching ants" around the area of the image that you wish to keep.
- 5. Additional Steps 1. Select a large even couloured area in the background to start with. 2. Add to the background by clicking on other parts of the background. Be sure to change the Fuzzy Select Mode to "Add to the Current Selection" this can be done from the tool options or by holding down the Shift key. 3. Once you have selected the bulk of the image background you may you will need to zoom in to finish it off properly. I find that zooming to 400% works well. 4.You will most likely need to adjust the threshold as you go to make the selection more or less sensitive. 5. You may find that you have selected some areas that shouldn't be. This is easily fixed by changing the Fuzzy Select Mode to "Subtract from the Current Selection". This can be done from the tool options or by holding down the Ctrl key.
- 6. Step 2 - Add Transparency to the Image Add transparency to the image by using Layer > Transparency >Add Alpha Channel. This makes it easy to add another background layer or paste your selection into another image. Add Alpha Channel
- 7. Step 3 - Delete the Background Press the Delete key to remove the selected background. You should be left with your selection on a checked or transparent background.
- 8. Background Removed and Jagged Edges
- 9. Step 5 - Save the Image If you are saving th eimage as a JPG (which you probably would be for display on a website) you will need to select Export when prompted as JPG files don't support transparency. The transparent part of the image will be filled with white.
