Cut out?

I have an image that I want to cut a part out of to use as a separate image. The shape of the area I want to cut out and use is irregular. How can I cleanly cut out that part and copy it as a seperate image?

Select the part you want to copy, then Edit -> Copy, then Edit -> Paste as -> New Image

To select irregular shapes, try the Free Select Tool and the quick mask.

Thanks....that helped.

Here's what I did (using GIMP ver. 2.6.8)

1. Clicked "Scissors Select Tool"

2. Traced the outside of the object I wanted.

3. Clicked "Edit -> Copy

4. Clicked "Edit -> Paste as -> New Image
