Use the foreground select tool. Once you make the selection,fill it with black or any color you want. See http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-tool-foreground-select.html However the lasso tool might be an easier way, quickmask the selection to make final adjustments on it. See http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-tool-free-select.html and http://docs.gimp.org/2.6/en/gimp-using-quickmask.html -- Owen Owen _______________________________________________ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
