Complete newbie here - so hello to all and please be patient with me.
I've followed some guides to remove the background from portraits starting with, opening it in gimp 2.10, adding an alpha channel and then duplicating the layer.
Several hours and saves later(!), I realised that the original image had various brush strokes on it which I did without realising. If I use the eraser, it removes all the image layers, not just the paint. Hope this all makes sense.
Is there a way to return the original image back to how it was, without the brush-strokes?
With luck, it's just something simple... Thank you.
