Take circle picture out of image to use - hendrikbez - 12-28-2020
Good Day
I need help with the following I want to learn how to take the middel part out of this screen, and save it on it own
The gold part.
RE: Take circle picture out of image to use - rich2005 - 12-28-2020
The question might be "which gold part ?"
There are several Gimp tools that will work, some better than others. You could go round the area using the eraser tool, if carefull get what you want. A step up from that is using a layer mask where painting in the layer mask hides the bit you do not want.
or
Selection tools to draw in a boundary around the required part. There is the scissors tool (not so good) or the free select tool (better) then use the selection to either erase the unwanted bit or copy the required part to a new image.
or
For shapes that are essentially straight lines and smooth curves you can use the paths tool. It has some advantages over a direct selection. Goes like this: https://youtu.be/NDgqhIkHN-8 no audio
or
A mixture of all.

Photo in the middle. Best way is a layer mask.
Make a circular selection of the bit you want to hide.
Invert the selection
Add a layer mask using the selection Layer -> Mask -> Add layer Mask use the selection option.
Put your photo under the layer.

Add an alpha channel for transparency Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel
Make a circular selection covering the area you want.
Copy the selection Edit -> Copy
Paste as a new image Edit -> Paste As -> New image
Export the new image as a png to keep any transparency (in corners)
