Delete The Background From Glass with GIMP

Sometimes deleting a background to transparency isn’t as simple as it seems. A good example of this would be glass. I’ve gone over various ways to delete backgrounds to transparent with GIMP in the past, but what about for more complicated imagery, like glass? In this instance, it’s not simply a matter of creating a selection around your subject and deleting everything outside of it. With glass, part of the background shows through, so we have to delete it in such a way that the background is removed from the glass, but without removing the glass itself. In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to do just that. The resources for this lesson can be located here: logosbynick.com/remove-background-from-glass-gimp/ Want to learn more about how GIMP works? Check out The GIMP Series - a comprehensive collection of over 60 videos where I go over all of the major tools, features and functions in GIMP and explain what they are and demonstrate how they work.

He originally demonstrated how to do this with Photoshop, so I figured it would be cool to demonstrate how to do so with GIMP (with my own touches added, of course.)
