Okay, here is how you can select by color in GIMP:
You can select areas of similar color in GIMP using the By Color Select tool.
There are three primary ways to activate the By Color Select tool in GIMP, as described in the references:
- Via the Menu Bar: You can find the tool by navigating through the GIMP menus. Go to Tools → Selection Tools → By Color Select.
- From the ToolBox: You can click on the dedicated By Color Select tool icon directly in the ToolBox. Look for an icon that typically looks like a pointing finger selecting a range of colors or a color spectrum.
- Using a Keyboard Shortcut: A quick way to access the tool is by pressing the keyboard shortcut Shift + O.
Using the By Color Select Tool
Once the By Color Select tool is active, simply click on any pixel within your image. GIMP will then automatically select all other pixels throughout the entire image that are similar in color to the pixel you clicked on, based on the tool's current settings (like Threshold). This is useful for selecting all instances of a specific color, even if they are not touching each other.
