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:
• Cutout object with mas...
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:

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. I believe this is because you know how to teach. Many people know GIMP, like many people know Chinese or how to fix a television. But that is not the important thing. Your teaching method is very good. You avoid the irritating tangents and "small talk", you avoided a long, useless introduction, you refrain from whipping your cursor around for no reason, you say precisely what you are doing, without useless comments, and the pace of your speech is good. Kudos to you!

@travisreed2350 10 лет назад

I spent literally hours trying to accomplish this via steps learned in other tutorials. Within 30 minutes of watching this video I had fixed my son's school picture (red gradiated background) to a grey background, including the bits shining through his hair. Wonderful work, thank you for posting it.

excellent tutorial. most of the gimp youtubers today don't explain/teach these kind of easy techniques because they want to sell their techniques in websites like udemy for people who can afford their fees. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge..👍🙏👏

@bailey1ak 14 лет назад

I have watched many gimp tutorials and found this to be the best so far. I love that you had audio that explained what you were doing and also moved slow enough for me to follow along. Thank you so much!

@MoniqueBabin Год назад

I tried a couple of different tutorials and methods before I found yours. Yours is the best! Thank you for explaining so clearly how to achieve this!

@someguysmith4636 7 лет назад

Thank you for keeping this simple and effective. Great technique for getting 90% of the way there. And your technique for using clone to fix the color is a game-changer for me. Awesome!

@gms9810 14 лет назад

I've seen tutorials on this subject 3 times in the past, yours as much better, as it usually is.

@hizokuto 5 лет назад

The clone tool is what really sets this apart from other tutorials. I usually avoid brushing stuff in myself, but this made it look less intimidating.

@Cliff-Notes 11 лет назад

Oh my gosh - I've seen similar tutorials (removing background from hair) and this is the first one that actually made sense to me! Excellent job! Thank you

@dollystack 10 лет назад

This is the best tutorial I have seen on isolating hair in GIMP! Thank you! I need to go and try this out!

@paulwigmore4815 7 лет назад

Fantastic, thankyou. I have been trying to do this for ages watching someone elses video but I kept failing. Watched your video once and got it first time :-)

@mhawk9715 6 лет назад

Very well done and so helpful. So much better than most tutorials I've seen for Gimp and thank you so much for the lesson.

@leerandallandrews 9 лет назад

You have a great manner of teaching step-by-step. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.

@aabracadavra Год назад

Hands down the best hair masking tutorial I've seen so far. Fantastic job! The viewer to like ratio is highly suspicious though.

@SaithJC 14 лет назад

THANK YOU!! I have curly hair and have been having a hard time cuting myself from pictures. Your tutorials are always the best.

@shalimarsgirl 12 лет назад

You're a genius! I simply don't have a 'computer' brain and what you are able to do amazes me. Thanks for helping me to understand how much work is involved in using GIMP.

@VideoNash 8 лет назад

I have to say, YOU ARE TOTALLY AWESOME! I have been working working with Gimp for several years now, and am quite proficient. Creating a .png file from .jpg has always confounded me in the past... I've always taken the long way around, with the fuzzy select tool. Now I know the quick and simple way. Thanks for sharing... (5 Stars to you).

@baltihorsettv5421 2 года назад

This tutorial was fantastic thank you so much! I had to do some funky stuff with my particular image to get the masking to work (background was too similar to the flesh tone and uneven lighting) but you saved me SO much grief with getting the hair to look normal!

@1throwdownful 10 лет назад

Excellent tutorial. Your clear step by step instructions are easy to follow making this very helpful. Thank you!

@helenlb5 13 лет назад

Thank you for such a clear and well made tutorial ... I have been GIMPing pics for SL for ages and its always taken so long to do the hair bit by bit ... thank thank thank

@ShieAyla 13 лет назад

I've watched a few vids of yours, and I have to say I love that you don't beat around the bush, you don't have music playing in the background and you don't take forever to say what you mean. I'm pretty good with the things I know about Gimp and I'm great at figuring stuff out as I go but, darnnit, there are just some things someone needs to teach you. You're a GREAT teacher! Thanks for the vids. I would also love to know what you use to record your desktop and how to Zoom also! Thanks!

@elainetaylor6670 7 лет назад

Thanks Joley, this is so much easier than zooming and using the Lasso tool.

@LivWerner 11 лет назад

This video tutorial is amazing. It's really nice to make PNGs now without having leftovers of the background. Thanks so much!

@ZOoMBunnIE39 12 лет назад

I wish I'd known how to do this YEARS ago....excellent tut; I'm subscribed, and am gonna start learning 4 real...1 lesson a day 4 60 days....thanx, teach!

@W4ldgeist 11 лет назад

Another way to get rid of the white lining would be to edit the layermask with the curves tool. Either blur it and then level it with the curves, or try the curves themselves. That way you can keep the original hairline and if you get it to work it can be faster than using the copy tool. Great tutorial btw :)

@circulair04 12 лет назад

I found this concise, informative and incredible that you got all that and enlargements of controls, every second was full of detail no coughing, stuttering or hesitation, very professional presentation thanks.. Can i assume that a layer like this could remain with a transparent background and layered over another photo and if so have you made a tutorial of this?

@neoridgeback 12 лет назад

@kalban112 3 года назад

First of all, thank you for tutorial, really helpful and straight to the point, in second, for someone that is used to photoshop and want to try the alternatives, this is a mess

@technosoftgratis 3 года назад

That's the problem with some open source programs: they are really powerful, but not so easy to use. Gimp and Blender come to my mind. But they are free and if you are interested, then you will learn it by using them and won't have to pay anything. Anyway, I also have to say that the Adobe software isn't easy either. Specially if you have never used it. I guess for you is easy becuase you have used it. But somehow I think their options are hidden and hard to find.

@babba7117 14 лет назад

Thanks a Ton for posting all the wonderful videos!!!! You rock!!!!

@lazydogfilms30 11 лет назад

BEST TUTORIAL EVER!

@EminoMeneko 7 лет назад

I was just about telling you to use the burn/dodge tool instead of cloning but apparently you added a note so well. I would just add the ginger on the picture is hot. Add freckles and nerdy glasses and I freaking chase her down. =D

@ralphf8951 2 года назад

Thank you for this great presentation

@shaggyaxe 12 лет назад

VERY helpful. I never knew of this technique.

@luckydog13423 11 лет назад

I've been doing this the hard way using the wand and selecting the backround(usually easier than doing the hair), feathering the selection, then making that transperent. It does have the advantage of preserving the original image better as you don't get the the issue she shows at 4:20 and hence no need to clone.
