removing tricky backgrounds ? - rf4f4rr4rf4 - 09-28-2024 Usually the 'color to alpha' or the fuzzy select tool work, but sometimes I cannot use those because of the similar values to the object and background, is there a tool I am missing? As you can see the fuzzy select tool bleeds into the object Im trying to cut out.

Either. free select or the path tool then path to select, both which will take you longer or you could try a mask. There is also the foreground select tool (Which you could invert the selection to get rid of the background) but that isn't fast either.
