Removing Background

[Krikor]

Playing around with removing the background from this image, I discovered another way to proceed. (at least new to me)

After increasing the image contrast (Threshold is a good option for this), highlighting the subject from the background, I use the Fuzzy Select Tool to select the subject of interest, I create a mask from that selection.

I make adjustments to this layer mask and then after applying the mask I make alpha to selection and Select To Path.

➤➤➤ The idea here is to save with the trace of the path from the beginning of the edition, in the case of images in which the tracing is laborious, (not needing to do the entire contour manually).

Now just make small adjustments to the created path, and voilà!
