I'm a beginner and usually use Gimp to change jpg's to png's. When I tried to change the attached image, I had some leftover white. I inverted image> changed to alpha channel>fuzzy select> cut. I cannot fuzzy select all the little detailed white sections, that were leftover. Is there something different I can do, to get the entire image transparent?

That sounds like a simple problem, but the intended attachment did not make it through and that makes it hard to tell exactly what the problem is. Try again?

Use Color->Color to alpha and remove the white. if parts of the subject become partially transparent, use a selection to exclude them.
