GIMP :: Cutting Blonde Hair From Busy Background
Aug 2, 2012
Any method in GIMP that can be used for cutting out flowing "Blonde" hair from a Multicoloured background using the "Channels". It seems that it can be done using Photoshop, but there do not seem to be any tutorials around for GIMP. There are heaps for cutting out dark coloured hair from all sorts of backgrounds but nothing to cut out flowing blonde hair from a multicoloured background.

I am trying to change a model's hair color in a photo from blonde to dark brunette (need one dark brown, and one black hair).
I can change the hair color to every other color and lighten and darken it using hue/saturation, burn & sponge tool, brush with overlays, but cannot seem to successfully get a realistic brunette. At the moment all I get is a black/white effect or a deep red.
Either I am not getting the combination and settings of these effects correct or I am not using the proper Photoshop tools. I can't imagine that this should be difficult.
Perhaps the photo is not bet suited to this? (can be viewed on )

I have this image: [URL].......
I would like to remove the background from that. I read few tutorials but they have one color(shades of color) background and quite good contrast. They make hair white and bg. black. But in my image some hair are black and some white and they overlap each other. I found great plugin to Photoshop named Topaz Remask 3, but I haven´t PS.

I was refererred by a member who speaks highly of the support here in this forum. One of the things i need to learn is how to go about cutting an image, like a car and laying it on a background. I figured out how to outline the image but creating a background and actually inserting the cutout escapes me. I work for a classic car dealership and i take the photos for the ads. I need to be able to create a nice background that i can insert every auto into, in exactly the same place.

I have attached two images of a young girl. One image (the original) is the one with the busy background. The second image is the one that I have cut out. Now with the pattern I have inserted behind her, the image seems quite acceptable, but if it as a plain white background, there is still some areas around the hair strands that contain the bluish background. Also to get to the stage of my image, I had to delete some of the whispy hair strands to make it look acceptable.
My question is, do you think it is possible to cut this out any better. This was done using the Color mapping method, but I have tried a number of other methods, but cannot seem to keep the hair strands visible and still end up with some color contamination around them. Do you think you could try this image and see if it could be done better.

I have a photograph with a women that has brown/reddish hair against a maroon colored background and I'm having trouble keying her out. I've tried the Refine Edge tool and played with all the settings and it isn't working very well.

I have CS6. Having trouble removing a background where part of the backgrouond is almost exactly the same color as the subject's hair. I've tried the refine edge tool- I get yucky greyed areas in the one spot where the hair & the similar background color meet. I have tried to use channels, but I am not very skilled in that yet.

I need to produce images of the garments, lets say a shirt, that is placed on a manequin/dummy, then the image is altered in Photoshop to remove the background and the manequin/dummy.
I understand I can use the Magic Wand task to do this.
What is the most efficient way of automating this process as I will have an initial upload of 300 images/products and I really dont want to have to do them all manually.

trying every layer mask combo I could think of to create a realistic shade of white hair that doesn't look like I just used the brush tool to make it.
I've tried lighting up the shadows with the curves option then using the selective color option. But all that does is make a very fake looking film to put over the eyebrows (ya it's eyebrows I'm working on, I'm trying to get them to match a white wig the subject is wearing.)
I've also tried using the solid color option, and a color overlay and that just came out weird.
Has anyone ever turned pitch black hair to white and had it still look like hair?

Ive been looking through various tutorials on how to create a mask that leaves the detail of the hair of the subject in
It seems all the tutorials I have looked at choose a subject with jet black hair, invert it, and hey presto, job done
Unfortunately, all my kids have got fair hair, and no matter what I try, find it almost indistinguishable from the background
How to do this, cos im losing my mind trying to paint strands of hair in and having the result look like Ive cut the image out of a magazine with a pair of left handed scissors (im right handed!)

I am trying to make transparent holes in layers so I can design cornhole boards to overlay in Google Sketch. When I cut out the selected area, I get a background color but I can't make it transparent. Obliviously, I don't have my layers setup correctly. I've spent days watching youtube tutorials but still can't make it work

We bought a JaguarIV plotter for cutting clear bra, but I was thinking that we could also use it to cut vinyl graphics. I have been watching some tutorials about paths and I'm getting quite good at manipulating curves and such. But I don't know if I can output to the plotter from GIMP. I tried just sending it as a print job, which I've heard you can do from Corel and Illustrator, but it didn't work.

when I try to cut out a freeform selection, it blurs the edges around the remaining image. Since I want to be able to piece together the images later, I want to avoid this. How?
