Inference is that the answer to my question is "no"!
However, the lesson appears to be on point and also thorough. It will take me some time to experiment with and hopefully learn.
Is it possible that this subject is documented somewhere?
Many thanks for the instructions.
Whoops! Looks like I failed to refresh my screen before replying. That looks like what I had in mind with respect to documentation. Many thanks!

This makes the selected area transparent. Select by color can be effective but typically a small area near the edge of the object (i.e., portion of the image being preserved) is NOT handled accurately. In that, pixels to be removed remain or pixels to be keep get selected for removal. It becomes quite difficult to use the various selection tools to include these pixels.
It would seem that being able to use the various brush (painting) tools for this task would be desirable. For example, I tried using the Clone Tool but it appears that transparency cannot be cloned. In that pixels can be cloned but NOT the absence of pixels. Setting Hardness to zero is NO help.
Is there a way to use Brush Tools like the Clone Tool to make the target area Transparent?
Fuzzy Select and Color select do not do what you thinkTypically, you should use color-to-alpha. See here for some explanations/techniques.
