A quick way to change picture background with the
Gimp
I wanted to change the background of a picture of a
Russian
Orthodox Cross I've downloaded from the net. After some time
spend experimenting and reading a couple of articles online I did
it :).
Here is how:
1. Open an Image in Gimp through the File -> Open
as Layers menu. 2. Use Fuzzy Select tool to select regions
based on color of the image you'd like to change the background. 3.
Open a new File in Gimp via New -> File menus. 4. Select again
the window containing the image you selected with the Fuzzy Tool
and press Ctrl+X. 5. Now go again to the newly opened picture and
use the: Bucket Fill Tool with some selected color to select the
new background for the future image. 6. Now after having a
background color already selected use Ctrl+V to paste your previous
selection Well congrats, you should now be having the good
old image on a shiny new background.
