I open the picture and Add An Alpha Layer.
Then I outlined the image using the foreground selection tool. When I Add Layer Mask etc., everything disappears, not just the background. The model AND the background. All I get is a checkerboard displayed.
This happens regardless of which selection tool I'm using. I'm obviously doing something/not doing something to cause that. I've followed a couple of online descriptions of how to do this and just can't make only the background disappear.
How do I keep the model visible and have the background disappear?
Using Gimp 2.10.14
