Here’s short (6 minutes) tutorial showing how to separate a complex object in GIMP. It’s extremely useful for cutting out hair blown in the wind.

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?
Hi Chitu – please check http://blackmoondev.com/gimp-tutorial-advanced-photo-separation/ for detailed description. Cheers
Great! I have been looking for a decent image masking for hairs and found a great one here! Thanks!
Awesome tutorials but you are way too fast. You could also do with a step by step explanation.
The detailed description you gave is not as it is “detailed”.
A step by step with screenshots will go a long way to help lots of people.
Brilliant technique you got though.
Hi, I have tried to follow your step-by-step written instructions but I got stuck in that part -
“We go back to the orginal layer and choose Add Layer Mask option from right-click menu. We copy the black&white layer to the layer mask.”
I saw your video tutorial but the resolution is very small I cant hardly see the clicks of commands wou were using, and the high-resolution version of the tutorial is not found.
I really can use this tutorial very much. I would really appreiciates it if you can help me.
Thanks very much.
thanks for such great video tutorial.
Your photos in the tutorials do not show up here (USA–California). Is it a problem with the connection to your source being broken or unavailable? I have tried many b rowsers.
(A video came through–and some photos from commentors)
VERY USEFUL ! Thanks a lot !
