This tool lets you extract the foreground from the active layer or from a selection. With GIMP-2.10, selection refinement has been improved. After the selection is made, with its marching ants, you can copy-paste or click-and-drag it to another image used as background,and, inverting the selection, you can can make changes in background.
물체 선택 도구는 다음 두 가지 방법을 통해 사용할 수 있습니다.:
by clicking on the tool icon

추출하고자 하는 물체를 대강 선택합니다. 이 도구를 선택하면, 마우스 포인터가 올가미 아이콘으로 바뀌면서 퍼지 선택 도구처럼 동작합니다. 물체를 선택할 때는 가급적이면 배경을 포함하지 않도록 선택합니다.
When the mouse pointer comes over line beginning, a small yellow circle appears: release mouse button to close selection. While selecting, click-and-drag draws a fuzzy line, drag only draws a straight line.
The selection is closed.
As soon you click to start drawing, a small window pops up:
There you have:
A Preview checkbox that toggles displaying a preview of the foreground extraction status. Esc key also toggles this preview.
A little cross to quit: returns to the original image.
A
button: not active for the moment.
Press Enter to create the mask:
The mouse pointer goes now with the Paint-brush icon. The dark blue area (this color can be changed) is for background. The light blue area covers the zone you have selected, on which you will paint to extract foreground. Between foreground area and background is a zone you have selected belonging to background named Unknown pixels area.
물체를 따라 선 그리기 : 붓 도구를 이용하여 선택된 영역에 있는 물체를 따라 연속된 선을 그립니다. 붓의 크기는 옵션을 통해 조절할 수 있습니다. 선 색상은 아무런 관계가 없으나 가급적이면 선택하려는 물체와 같지 않은 색이 좋습니다. 그리고 배경부분을 선택하지 않도록 주의하세요.
With this one-color object distinctly different from background, a few strokes are enough:
Toggle preview to verify result.

This Preview mask is a mask: you can draw directly on it and see result immediately. |
Try Matting Levin engine that may improve result.
When you are satisfied with result, click on
button to get the selection of the foreground with its marching ants.Normally, tool options are displayed in a window attached under the Toolbox as soon as you activate a tool. If they are not, you can access them from the image menu bar through

Draw foreground: to draw what will be foreground.
Draw background: to draw what will be background.
Draw unknown: to add to your selection pixels that are in background.
The size of the brush.
You can adapt the color of the preview to your image.
Work with Matting global(default) and improve result with Matting Levin.
Default is 1. Repeating algorithm may improve result.
In most images, foreground is not distinctly different from background. Refining selection allows you now to extract these foregrounds. Procedure steps are the same as above, but, during drawing foreground, you will often toggle Preview, use Zoom (+ key), Draw background to delete unwanted background extraction areas. You can also work directly on Preview mask.
그림 14.36. Example for Draw background
On the left: drawing foreground ill-advisedly went over unknown pixels area: a part of background will be included in foreground selection!
In middle: Draw background option is checked: draw on inclusion and unwanted pixels.
On the right: unwanted selected pixels in background are no longer in foreground selection.
You will often have to reduce the unknown pixels zone with Draw background.
그림 14.37. Example for Draw unknown
On the left: the selection left a small part of foreground unselected, in unknown pixels area.
On the right: with Draw unknown option checked, draw on unselected pixels. They are now selected in foreground.
