Foreground Select tool - This tool lets you extract the foreground from the active layer or from a selection. It is based on the SIOX method (Simple Interactive Object Extraction).

The creation of a selection with this tool works in a couple of steps:

1. Roughly select the foreground you want to extract. When you select this tool, the mouse pointer goes with the lasso icon. It actually works like the Fuzzy Select tool. Select as little as possible from the background.

As soon as you release the mouse button, the non selected part of the image is covered with a dark blue mask. If the selection is not closed, its ends will be linked automatically together by a straight line. The mouse pointer goes now with the Paint-brush icon for the next step.

2. Draw a line through the foreground: using the paintbrush, whose size can be changed in options, draw a continuous line in the selected foreground going over colours that will be kept for the extraction. The colour used to draw the line is of no importance; not using the same colour as the foreground is better. Be careful not painting background pixels.

3. When you release the mouse button, all non-selected areas are in dark:

4. You still have to press the Enter key to get the wanted selection
