I saw Fred's later reply and am glad someone knew how to do it. I feel your pain, the gimp documentation isn't always the best. If you aren't already aware, when your work is suddenly undone, remember that Ctrl-Z (UnDo) is your friend. I found that I had to look for gimp tutorials on the web wherever I could and use the one that worked (as you discovered - not all do). And then there were cases where, like you did, posting on a forum produced far better results than hours of web search.

Subject: Extreme frustration with GIMP
I am not a graphics person. Also can't afford to hire one.
Trying to follow instructions at
https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tutorial-quickie-separate.html
I use the "intelligent scissors" just like they say, spend quite a bit
of effort doing so.
Then click the foreground select tool - just like they say - and
suddenly everything I did with the intelligent tool is undone.
WTF?
Does anyone know of an actual GIMP tutorial for removing background that
doesn't cause me to throw a damn brick through my monitor?
Photoshop makes it easy, but clearly GIMP developers have a completely
different philosophy on how a graphics tool should work and I can't
figure out what their philosophy is.
