How the fuck is that AI technology if you manually have to draw a contour of a person?? I can do the same thing in MS paint

I've been using Gimp since 1.6. Even if it sounds nice that AI is suddenly everywhere, it is purely marketing. The magnetic scissors are not AI powered. It is one of the oldest tools in Gimp.
There is no AI in the Heal Selection and Transparency Selection plugins released from 2002. These are pixel-dependent algorithms and are therefore veeery far from AI.
Even if Adobe claims the Content-Aware Fill feature uses AI, unfortunately that's just marketing, because the feature is based on the Gimp plugins

It's funny how every software and website company for showcasing their background removal tools use an image that has its background and foreground in opposite colors and the background is totally empty.
If you're trying to impress me, do it with a picture that is complicated.

Fuzzy select in compose or hsl luminance / hsl Value Selection mode (depending on background) with micro adjustments to Threshold and Fearher Selection can do it a lot quicker on plain backgrounds. It won't be exactly what you want so use the boolean selection tools to adjust badly selected regions and you'll discover a method that can do this very quickly. Fuzzy Select's Feather Selection is great to preserve hair strands. The idea is to select the majory of the image that you want and THEN use boolean subtract / add Selection options with the tool mentioned here to fix the issues. Fuzzy select in combination with smart scissors can get a lot done very quickly

Even with a not-so-complex background, it's quite a long way of doing things but it's doable just like the older versions of Photoshop.

Why in the world would you recommend a crucial step of feather edges at the end?? That should be noted at the beginning....

Automagic!! Fantastic choice of word here :)

I knew it was too good to be true.
Firstly, like the other member asked: how is this AI related? Photoshop has been doing this for over 20 years. Cutting out an image means doing it so precise that your audience viewing it can't tell that it was cut out. I saw jagged lines, not precision. And the fact that an almost solid background color was used, I would have expected more precision. I've been using Photoshop for 25 years and I've learned dozens of tricks to cutting people out the correct way, that includes lighting direction and manipulation, and true shadow creation. And I still struggle today to speed up a process that takes hours and hours to do correctly. And I'm still learning new ways of pulling it off, and I've done just that. The magic won tool in PS can do what you just did by playing with tolerance sensitivity levels. Gimp does not have native AI capability at this time. maybe via a plugin, but not at the base level.

Fuzzy selectiion tool with an "high" thresold works for me too.
I just add and add pixels in an "incremental" way (holding the shift key, IIRC) and the selected area expands every time and surrounds almost perfectly the area of interest because of different color or contrast.
Then simply invert selection with CTRL-I

This is something similar to "Magnetic Lasso Tool" of Photoshop and has been used for ages. So not a magic i guess. You didn't even remove the background at the end. While talking about the threshold, why didn't you just decide the threshold for the whole path instead you draw another path? And after that you didn't finish the final product. OMG your brain is really working in an other way!

[coisasnatv]

After free AI tools available today, none of this make sense anymore. I grew up doing curses in Photoshop 4.0, taking hours to do things like these and now with one click and no skill at all, the background is gone, the photo is color corrected, so on and so forth.

[bettlebug]

Hello, Thank you for your tutorials. Different subject question. How can I convert RGB to CMYK?

[KingFearless]

2:10 it's difficult to use it if we don't know how to use it 🤔... Got it! 😄👍

[sskaioken]

That scissors tool leaves artifacts from the background a lot though you really have to work at it

[lpinuccio]

hello, I am trying to learn gimp 3.02 but actually to select even with AI (?) low contrast images I find it difficult and it takes me hours. Too bad because I like Gimp and love the npen source. I read a lot of criticism here but I wonder: to take better advantage of AI what would be an alternative to Gimp that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?

[tigerenmars]

It works when there are such large contrasts, in the cases where I have tried the tool, it has completely failed...

[johnghostwriterbr]

It's an AI so smart and easy to use that it takes you 10 minutes just to make a nice selection.

[straycats]

Good video. I'm new to GIMP. Thank you for clearly explaining this tool.

[DemetriaDixon]

Ai keeps adding graphics to my mockups. Do you have a vid about hhow to remove or replace them.

[rumghost]

After selecting the anchor points and adjusting the feathering, its not stated how to remove the background.
