Remove the background from hair in GIMP – tutorial (Cut out hair)
In this GIMP tutorial you'll learn some techniques to remove the background from an image with hair. Cut out hair. I'm explaining step by step in this "How to in GIMP" so you'll know how to make a cut out of an image with hair. I'm using layer masks, the clone tool and give some tips on the burn tool in GIMP. A lot of the techiniques I used I've learned and/or adapted from this video from blackmoondev: www.youtube.com The reason I adapated it is because I tried to make it easy to follow for gimp beginners as well. Here's a link to the image I used: morguefile.com Long discussion with lots of hair cut out tips: sortitoutsi.net

@azmab Have you got your annotations turned off, because I put a link to my Layer masks explained video in an annotation on this video.
Or do you mean more advanced?
July 27th, 2010 - 09:40
Sorry to barge in, but do you have a vid that explains layer masks in detail? I feel as though there is more that I could be doing with it.
BTW, I think your tutorials are the BEST as you actually spend the time explaining and teaching. Thanks.
