Are you talking about objects in a photo? You cannot magically swap objects in foreground and background. You can select an object in the foreground though, there is a tool for that:

Thank you very much for your reply. I really mean 'Foreground select tool' . I am using GIMP 2.2 on my centos 5.6 . Do I need any upgrade as it seems that this tool is missing on my machine?

Foreground select tool was introduced in unstable GIMP 2.3.3 and ended up in stable 2.4. It was first implemented as a plug-in, but I can't seem to find its source code and even so I'm not sure it would work in v2.2. I'd suggest going for 2.4 or even 2.6 if possible.

Sorry. It seems that the only solution is to upgrade to centos 6 .

Can't you use one of the many rpms out there, for example those for Fedora? http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=gimp

Or why just not upgrade to CentOS 6?

Kind regards

Thank you for your help. I upgraded to centos 6.0 and now I have the new features of GIMP. I need to replace the foreground image of my image with the foreground of another image. Can you please let me know how it can be done in gimp?
