Answer 1

The gimp is a big program, nearly as big as Photoshop.

You will just have to put in the time and effort to learn how to use it. There are tons of helpfiles and tutorials available, but you still have to do the work to LEARN it.

I&#039;m not sure anymore if the lasso tool actually looks like the Photoshop one....... and that one looks just like a lasso with a bit of rope. Again, use the help file, it will point the way for you.

P. S. Blondes can learn this too...... I know this from first hand experience  :-)

Answer 2

mouse over tool for pop-up note description, you can download the help file as well ~50 mb, lasso is the round rope with knot an point, you could also use pen tool for outline in better detail, then convert line to selection, you can also create mask, but not needed here,

so on an image you select around item, then with selection invert to outer area and desaturate to b&amp;w,  repeat for each layer, then in filter menu, select animation playback, if ok ,

then save as copy as gif from menu, with export layers to animation option,
