Consider a completely red background with a slightly blurred green filled circle in the foreground [1]. If you want to extract the green foreground object you need to get rid of the red in the pixels with both red and green, but you can't do that with only a selection. A good foreground selection tool would need to get rid of the red in the pixels with both red and green and only leave slightly transparent green pixels. / Martin [1] http://www.chromecode.com/temp/red-circle-on-green-background.png -- My GIMP Blog: http://www.chromecode.com/ _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
