mine doesnt seem to have it. Is it worth 'buying' (read downloading) a different version?

wooo
'it's not fair!' etc. I just want to cut out a crow so I can attempt to make a paintmash animation thing. Only I cant animate either. It will be a day of learning I think..

instead of extracting
you could lassoo the crow using about 1 pixel of feathering, then tidy up afterwards using a small soft eraser brush, that's the way i usually chop stuff out

Thanks.
I think Im gonna have to. I tried a few times but it just looked messy, practice makes perfect though eh :)

could also
be worth looking into mask layers - they're my favourite way of selecting stuff because they're a bit less destructive than deleting bits you don't want. But the method zerolicious (still not used to his new name!) suggested will definitely work.

mask layers
sound more confusing still. I will look at them though. However I think Ive just decided to draw a crow in paint instead, it might look crap but its so much easier..

you should
it's really good when you start to get used to it. There are lots of little tricks that make cutting out so much quicker, and if you delete a bit you didn't mean to, you can just bring it straight back. Woo to masks, I say!

that's
mr zerolicious to you! ;)
see when you talk about masking, do you mean selecting the bit you want (using lassoo or whatever) then using the quick mask thingy? or is it something else entirely i haven't discovered yet?

well
I almost typed mr!
I think I mean something different to what you're thinking - the masks I'm talking about are like a monochrome layer on top of the image - in the simplest form, white means not visible, black means visible, and less black means less visible. No idea how to do them in anything but the GIMP though!
