When you want to select a part of an image in the GIMP, there are a few things you need to know. The first is that the selection area is divided into two parts: the foreground and background. The foreground is the area that you will be working with most often, and it includes everything in the image that is not covered by the background. The background can be anything in the image, but it should be as dark as possible so that it does not affect your selection. The second thing you need to know is how to move your cursor around within the selection area. The GIMP has a number of different cursor keys, which are described below. You can also use the arrow keys to move your cursor around, or use the spacebar to select all of the pixels in an area. The third thing you need to know is how to save your selection. In order to save your selection, you first need to make sure that it is set as a layer (or group) and then press OK. Then, you need to name your selection something other than " selections “. To name your selection, type something like " picture1 “.
