Remove the background from hair in GIMP - tutorial (Cut out hair)
In this GIMP tutorial you'll learn some techniques to remove the background from an image with hair. Cut out hair. I'm explaining step by step in this "How to in GIMP" so you'll know how to make a cut out of an image with hair.
I'm using layer masks, the clone tool and give some tips on the burn tool in GIMP.
A lot of the techiniques I used I've learned and/or adapted from this video from blackmoondev:

The reason I adapated it is because I tried to make it easy to follow for gimp beginners as well.
Here's a link to the image I used:

This is the best tutorial I've ever seen. I believe this is because you know how to teach. Many people know GIMP, like many people know Chinese or how to fix a television. But that is not the important thing. Your teaching method is very good. You avoid the irritating tangents and "small talk", you avoided a long, useless introduction, you refrain from whipping your cursor around for no reason, you say precisely what you are doing, without useless comments, and the pace of your speech is good. Kudos to you!

I spent literally hours trying to accomplish this via steps learned in other tutorials. Within 30 minutes of watching this video I had fixed my son's school picture (red gradiated background) to a grey background, including the bits shining through his hair. Wonderful work, thank you for posting it.
Thank you for keeping this simple and effective. Great technique for getting 90% of the way there. And your technique for using clone to fix the color is a game-changer for me. Awesome!
excellent tutorial. most of the gimp youtubers today don't explain/teach these kind of easy techniques because they want to sell their techniques in websites like udemy for people who can afford their fees. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge..👍🙏👏
This is the best tutorial I have seen on isolating hair in GIMP! Thank you! I need to go and try this out!
I have watched many gimp tutorials and found this to be the best so far. I love that you had audio that explained what you were doing and also moved slow enough for me to follow along. Thank you so much!
Fantastic, thankyou. I have been trying to do this for ages watching someone elses video but I kept failing. Watched your video once and got it first time :-)
Excellent tutorial. Your clear step by step instructions are easy to follow making this very helpful. Thank you!
You have a great manner of teaching step-by-step. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
what i learned..............choose images without hair LOL
Oh my gosh - I've seen similar tutorials (removing background from hair) and this is the first one that actually made sense to me! Excellent job! Thank you
The clone tool is what really sets this apart from other tutorials. I usually avoid brushing stuff in myself, but this made it look less intimidating.
Very well done and so helpful. So much better than most tutorials I've seen for Gimp and thank you so much for the lesson.
You explained this tutorial in such great detail! Thank you so much for your help!!
Excellent. This is very well done. Great technique and I can't wait to try it out.
Thanks for making it clear and simple!
I tried a couple of different tutorials and methods before I found yours. Yours is the best! Thank you for explaining so clearly how to achieve this!
I've seen tutorials on this subject 3 times in the past, yours as much better, as it usually is.
Wow. That was concise, informative, and accurate. VERY well done!! Thank you so much.
This is the best tutorial I've seen yet on doing anything in GIMP. Thank you very much and keep it up!
Thanks very much, this is what I was looking for. Much appreciated.
thanks so much! Your videos are answering so many questions about things in both gimp and photoshop! :)
Thanks a ton! Your tutorials are absolutely amongst the best!
GIMPtricks, you are outstanding! Thanx again for a clear and to the point tutorial.
Great tutorial! Straight forward, perfect amount of detail for me. Thank you :)
Another way to get rid of the white lining would be to edit the layermask with the curves tool. Either blur it and then level it with the curves, or try the curves themselves. That way you can keep the original hairline and if you get it to work it can be faster than using the copy tool. Great tutorial btw :)
Hands down the best hair masking tutorial I've seen so far. Fantastic job! The viewer to like ratio is highly suspicious though.
You are my sensei!!! Thank you for teaching me everything about gimp!
This tutorial was fantastic thank you so much! I had to do some funky stuff with my particular image to get the masking to work (background was too similar to the flesh tone and uneven lighting) but you saved me SO much grief with getting the hair to look normal!
This video tutorial is amazing. It's really nice to make PNGs now without having leftovers of the background. Thanks so much!
Watching this in 2019, and still the best! Thanks!
Great way to explain the procedure. Found it simple and very helpful. Thank you!
awesome tutorial! Thank you so much for the detail, it really helped me understand and complete a project! Thanks again.
THANK YOU!! I have curly hair and have been having a hard time cuting myself from pictures. Your tutorials are always the best.
Thanks Joley, this is so much easier than zooming and using the Lasso tool.
Amazing!! Your video is perfect, you really make this a process that one can learn!!! Thank you!! Keep up the good work!!

Awesome trick! Thank you for sharing.
I have to say, YOU ARE TOTALLY AWESOME! I have been working working with Gimp for several years now, and am quite proficient. Creating a .png file from .jpg has always confounded me in the past... I've always taken the long way around, with the fuzzy select tool. Now I know the quick and simple way. Thanks for sharing... (5 Stars to you).
very good tutorial covers a lot of points in an easy to understand way.
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I have been looking for a good, clear tutorial that actually EXPLAINS how to do it!

Thank you make it sound doable. I look forward to trying it. Versions have changed over the years but the concept is the same.

Excellent tutorial, GIMPTricks!
This is awesome. I never knew there was a clone tool! And I love your accent!
Thank you very much - you make the best tutorials!
Such an elegant way of achieving this!
Still the best tutorial on this and it's 12 years old!
very clear instructions, great demo - thank you
I did this from time to time but never came up with the idea of cloning! Great video. Thanks!
I've watched a few vids of yours, and I have to say I love that you don't beat around the bush, you don't have music playing in the background and you don't take forever to say what you mean. I'm pretty good with the things I know about Gimp and I'm great at figuring stuff out as I go but, darnnit, there are just some things someone needs to teach you. You're a GREAT teacher! Thanks for the vids. I would also love to know what you use to record your desktop and how to Zoom also! Thanks!
Wow this is very helpful. Mam may I know what version of GIMP your using here? and may you share how to adjust brightness on photo?
Thank you for this great presentation
