Quote:I did see GIMP ML as well. Looks like there are many options that are automatic.
Automatic is great, until it does not work, then you have to fall back to the basic Gimp tools. Tracing round a shape is one basic skill worth developing. Keep practising.
I have tried the python2 GIMP ML and it is not that great. The current version is for python3
Quote:But was a bit confused about how to use it. (intelligent-select)
The use is dead simple, draw a selection rectangle around the area required. Apply the plugin...and you get what you are given
The confusing bit is the installation, needs a regular Gimp 2.10 (flatpak is no good) + a working gimp-python and a raft of dependencies, I will give you a clue, the attached is the terminal listing for the installation.
EDIT: Do not let me put you off. The plugin is actually not that bad at finding edges. It is also self-contained, hence the one GB size. Just me being old-fashioned and objecting to a plugin size greater than the Gimp installation.
