Ok well first off dont use the path tool, the lasso looking tool located on the main toolbox is much easier to use.

First off click the selection tool on the maintoolbar (it looks like a lasso) then outline the render with the selection tool and close it off

Once you finished that then it should look like a bunch of marching ants were the selection line used to be. Well if u dont understand then nvm. Then press Ctrl+I (or select->invert) ONLY ONE TIME! then press the delete button and then press Ctrl+Shift+A make the selection line go away and there you have it :)

The Lasso seems easier like Dark said xD but.. same thing happened x_x' after i outlined the render and close it up, i pressed Ctrl + i, press delete button (if its the one on my keyboard?) then press ctrl+shift+A, everything turned back to normal.. turned back to the start again x_x'.. is something wrong with my Gimp... =[?

I wanted to try out Jako's tut. but its hard to read =p

[Jxm]
