Background - Foreground - how to work on the separation?

[saint_m]

good evening dear GarzaW - hello dear Rich2005 


first of all many many thanks for the great reply and for your input: 



Rich you mentioned: 

There are a few ways for this. One way to try is:

Quote:(1) Colors -> Auto -> White Balance ( the connecting lines are very faint and probably will not show on a light background)
(2) Bucket Fill using Affected Area = Fill whole selection Fill Type = FG color Mode = Color erase.
(3) Set the Background (BG) color as required.
(4) Image -> Flatten Image (this replaces any transparency with the BG color)

Well - thats just overweleming - i am so glad. 

I have tried to work according your mini-tutorial: But believe me or not:  i did not manage to get exacly to this "Screen"


i have seen the clip at least 20 times  - but i did not get it - how your steps looked exactly to achieve this screen - where we have nothing lieft than the 
line of the "Network" - 

   

hmm - probably my difficulties have to to with my "mother-tounge"  English is not my native language.. 

Well - what were the steps to achieve the screen shown above.

Now i am going to have a closer look at the clip - which is generally a true masterpiece. 

greetings 


update: aaargh - after watching the clip the 22 th time i think i have seen a small but pretty important detail:  the "mode" was set to "color-erase"

guess - that this is the important step... 

i will try it out..
