Very useful! But could you post a text explanation, please?
Thanks. I’m new to GIMP, and image manipulation programs in general, so even though I understand the concepts it’s not easy because I have to learn which buttons do what, what sequence to use them in, and where they are located. I’m afraid it’s going to take me a while, but with some more good tutorials like this one I’ll eventually get it.
ahhh i was good but so fast and i couldnt get it properly.

This is just what I’m looking for, but being new to the GIMP, it was too fast, and I couldn’t follow all the steps. Could you please post a step-by-step written explanation?
