Hi everyone, I used Gimp many years ago but am now quite rusty. So if someone could explain how I can remove a white background that would be great. I have tried but the image loses quality...TYIA
  • Select the background (wand)
  • Select>Grow by one or two pixels (the selection should include the edges)
