Hey Gimpers:
I’ve been using Gimp for a couple of years, on and off, mostly for layering photos and using a layer mask for cropping. I still have trouble cropping around hair, especially around woman’s hair that is always curly and wispy. I struggle with extreme magnification and one of the fuzzy brushes trying to pick out individual locks of hair and depending on the background shade, sometimes it works. But most times I end up with a woman’s head that looks like it has been cut out with kindergarten scissors.
Any advise or hints about cropping around hair would be much appreciated. Or maybe a way of filling in the background so it looks natural. Or anything else.
Much thanks,
Bry
