Frequently asked questions

Can it isolate a person from a busy scene?

It targets similar colors rather than understanding subjects. Complex backgrounds, hair and shadows may need a more specialized editor.

Why did part of the subject disappear?

The subject may share the selected background color. Reduce tolerance, try edge-connected removal or use a better-separated source.
