First of all it would be a good idea if you took the photo's against a white background in the first place. Failing that, you can try using the magnetic tool and go around the outline very carefully. ( it is a good idea to enlarge photo to do this) Then select "invert" (so you fill in the background) then go to EDIT/FILL/ choose white and there you are.

you could also do filter -> extract

and then make a layer behind the extraction with whatever color you want
