- The Threshold tool provides a visual graph of the intensity value
- of the active layer or selection. You can set the threshold range
- either using the input boxes or clicking button 1 and dragging on
- the graph. It allows you to select a part of the image with some
- intensity from a background with another intensity. Pixels inside
- the range will be white, and the others will be black.
- Adjust the range to get the selection you want in white
- on black background. This method of extracting a selection is well
- explained in Grokking the Gimp.
