link to the next tutorial where I use this cut out:
In this GIMP tutorial I’ll be showing you how to use the scissors select tool in GIMP to cut out an image from its background, or in other words, how to make a render using the scissors select tool in GIMP 2.6.
The image used I got from this website where you can find all info about it too.
