Quote:..I probably wouldnt even touch the Foreground Selection Tool, but OP's question is whether the behaviour has changed from V 2.8 to 2.10, and im afraid nobody here can answer that.
As far as i can tell the tool has been improved, but only the developer can answer that for sure, right ?
I was not going to get into this but the difference between 2.8 and 2.10 is the addition of an 'ambiguous' zone - the draw unknown section. Makes the requirement for selecting/painting in the background a bit closer to the edge.
The 2.10 filter can add much more semi-transparent pixels to the selection. Broken? in the flatpack Gimp 2.10 (but there in my 2.9.9 appimage) Matting - Levin is not there but it is marginally better than Matting - Global.
I find by the time I mess around painting in FG/BG/Unknown here-and-there, I can have the foreground cut out by other means with less hassle.
