You can also achieve similar results in Adobe Photoshop 2021. Here is a tutorial showing how to remove a background using Photoshop:    • How to remove background in photoshop 2021  

Both GIMP and Photoshop have powerful tools to help you edit images using techniques as shown in this video.

For the best background removal, I suggest using either the path tool as demoed in the tutorial or a layer mask - Example:    • Effortless Background Removal with GIMP 2....  

Photoshop has a powerful set of selection tools that can make this task of removing a background much quicker, but GIMP is free software so we must give credit to the amazing work done by the GIMP development team, if you have some spare change then please give a small donation via the gimp.org website.

I can see Photoshop is now using AI to automate tasks like sky replacement in a picture, and I can see AI playing a big role in 2021 for image editing and photo manipulation.

Why not download a trial version of Photoshop and improve your skills and knowledge?

The Paths tool allows you to create complex selections called Bézier Curves, a bit like Lasso but with all the adaptability of vectorial curves. You can edit your curve, you can paint with your curve, or even save, import, and export the curve. You can also use paths to create geometrical figures.

Remove background from image in GIMP FAQs

What is the best tool for removing background from an image in GIMP?
In GIMP there are a few different ways to remove a background from an image. I prefer to use the paths tool as this is one of the most accurate tools for removing backgrounds. For more simple backgrounds you can use the fuzzy select tool. The advantage of using the paths select tool is you can re-edit the selection and save the selection in the GIMP file for future edits.

Is layer mask better than the paths tool for making a selection?
A layer mask is also another accurate method of creating a selection, once a selection is done then you can use a layer mask to isolate the selected content and remove the background. The layer mask can also be edited if required, but I still prefer to use the paths tool whenever possible.
