Not going to watch a 28 min vid, but if you need a Channel Mixer and are on GIMP 2.6

1. Right Click Image
2. Colors
3. Components
4. Channel Mixer

Select Monochrom then move the RGB selectors as needd.

lol. Sorry I didnt pay attention to the time. He shows 2 examples of how to cut and paste...thats why its a bit long.

The idea was he changes over to the channels and makes them grayscale. Making the picture he wants copied and the background as different in grayscale as posiible. Then uses levels to make the picture more black and white. The pic is now black and white which outlines what he wants to cut and paste.

I hope that makes sense.

Yep, doing the above makes the channels grayscale. There are other ways of course.

I'll watch video later to see if there is something else that needs to be done.
