How to remove the background of a png. - BernardBouree - 06-09-2025
Hi, I'm am a completly newbee with GIMP trying to remove the background of a picture.
THis picture is a shield . When I try to select the white border and delete it, the two heads and the bell are also selected since they are also white.
Thanks for your help.

Use Fuzzy select
instead of Color select 
. Then click in one of the white areas to select it, and shift click in the other to add it to the selection.
