My video won't upload as it is too big. However, I understand how to use the
path tool better and get a lovely curved footprint, but once I have my path
selected and my footprint filled with the colour of my choice, I struggle
understanding how to remove the background and to select just the footprint. Can
anyone help? Thanks :)
