What a background remover leaves undone
-
Only one edit
A cutout fixes the background. Models, ghost mannequin shots and lifestyle images still need making elsewhere.
-
Fine edges
Hair, lace, fringing and jewelry chains are where automatic cutouts need a second pass by hand.
-
It needs a good photo
A remover can only work with the photo you give it, so the shoot still has to happen first.
