Colour selection

The GIMP selection tools are similar to those in most graphics
software. Use the Select hand-drawn regions tool to select around
an irregular shape and the Select by regions by colour tool to select
based on colour under the cursor. This tool includes a tolerance
setting to specify how much colour is selected - the higher the
tolerance the more image is selected. It also works a little differently
than you might expect as it selects all areas displaying that colour
in the image not just those which are adjacent to the selected area.
Like most other graphics software you can add to a selection by
pressing the Shift key as you select another area or remove an area
from a selection by holding the Control key as you select the area
to remove. You can combine selection tools and make a hand drawn
selection then add a regular rectangle to it, for example. The crop
tool looks different to those you're probably familiar with but
it's simple to understand and use.
