    Sure, this can sort of get the job done with somewhat bad results.

    The icons in my case were complex, so a single click with magic wand wound not select all of the parts .

    Expand by 4 blurs the icons at the edges. This is actually pretty bad, and would result in lost detail and a washed out look.

    The operation in gimp is destructive, so tweaking in multiple steps is not really possible, and creates a bad workflow.

    No, Gimp is terrible and not up to the task at all.


  • Photopea is amazing. Its 90% a clone of PS and is sooo much better than gimp.

    I used it today to remove a white background on some of our icons to get a transparent png.

    It was as easy as going i to the layer options, blend options, and drag the slider. It even has the option that you can hold alt and split the slider in 2 to get transparency blend as a gradient.

    This would be a nightmare in gimp, and photopea does it non destructively. And since its a web app you dont even have to install anything. Amazing.
