Pro Tip: Optimize Your Original Image

For best results, use images with clear contrast between the subject and background. Well-lit photographs with distinct edges tend to work best with automatic removal tools.

Step 4: Fine-tune the Results

After the automatic removal, you may need to refine the edges. Use the 'Brush' and 'Eraser' tools to add or remove areas from the selection.

  • Use the 'Brush' tool to add areas back to the foreground.
  • Use the 'Eraser' tool to remove any remaining background elements.

Step 5: Adjust Edge Smoothness

For a more natural look, adjust the edge smoothness of your selection. This can help blend the subject with new backgrounds seamlessly.

Step 6: Preview and Save
