A background removal tool like the one in Office 2010

I think a background removal tool like the one that exists in Office 2010 will be very useful in GIMP.

Hopefully this is the correct place to post feature requests to.

It might be the place, but request like that is useless. Ive never seen Office 2010, let alone its background extraction tool And I doubt anybody else on this list has either.

Btw this article only mentions it by the end and doesn't give an example but there are also tools for refining the automatic detection (Remove and Add to what should be kept)

It is a GSoC 2010 project to implement an image matting operation in GEGL, the plan is to use that operation to implement something like that background removal tool. Probably won't make it into 2.8 though.

for GIMP a one-trick-pony tool like that is not appropriate.

for the level of use (high-end) that GIMP is tuned for, the combination of foreground selection tools, invert selection and then do whatever you want, on any number of layers, is the power that users expect.
