There are many ways to remove a portion of a picture from its background. However, the tool I find works best for me is the Magic Pen Tool. After opening the picture, use the Magic Pen Tool to select the image you want. Depending on the complexity of the image, you may need to spend some time doing this, selecting pieces, by holding down the shift key while selecting the image. You want to ultimately end up with the whole item outlined with 1 moving dotted line. Once you’ve gotten the image selected right click (or control + click) and select “Layer via Cut”, this adds a new layer. You can then delete the background layer and you are left with the image you want. Hopefully that helps.

How to extract an image in gimp editor?

There are many ways to do this. If the background of the image you want to extract is roughly all one color, use the Fuzzy Select tool and put the threshold at just high enough to select everything but the image you want to extract. Then delete that selection. If the background is something different, then you can erase around the image you want to extract, using a smaller and smaller brush for the more detailed parts. This is the most time-consuming and most accurate way to extract the image, I suggest this method if you're in no hurry to get it done. :)

Is there a Mac imaging software that allows removing and changing a picture background?

The application Preview that comes with the Mac has the ability to extract an image from the background. The success of such a project depends on how "busy" the background is. A few clearly defined colours in the background will be easier to remove than a jumble of shapes and colours. Launch Preview and then Open your photo from the file menu. Click and hold on the arrow beside the Select icon at the top of the window and then select Extract Shape from the menu that appears. Click the mouse on the edge of the part of the image you want to keep and drag the mouse carefully around the outline of the shape. You can adjust the line so that it is a better fit if needed. Press return to see the result. If the result is satisfactory press return again to remove the unwanted background. Save the image with another name so as not to overwrite the original. Other software that can extract the background include ChromaKeys or Adobes Elements or the full Photoshop (See links below) but most image editing software will offer some masking and extraction functions. The choice depends on what other features you need and how much you want to pay.


Are gold jewelry buyers buying the jewelry or are they looking to melt it down and extract the gold content?

Both. The gold jewelry has intrinsic value depending on the gold content, and they can possibly sell it for more if the price of gold increases. They also melt the gold down to extract the gold content, especially if they have a large quantity of lower-quality gold jewelry they want to get value from.
