Why don't you contribute to GIMP instead?
GIMP already has a feature like this: http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-foreground-select.html

Re: Show HN: Remove backgrounds from images online
#102This seems very similar to the "Magic Wand Tool" in Photoshop. It's nice that it's free online, but it doesn't seem to produce better results.

#103How does this compare to the gimp "Foreground Select tool"?

We probably have a bug. Please try another browser and hopefully I can nail that issue soon. (I'm one of the devs)
I was using Chrome Version 26.0.1410.65 on Mac OS X 10.7.5. Opera 12.15 is apparently not compatible since it lacks data URLs. Safari Version 6.0 (7536.25) freezes at the same place. Firefox 20.0 gives me an error in a dialog box saying that it's "unable to connect to worker."
Hmmm. That's not ideal. I added some more servers, so hopefully it can at least connect to the worker now. Sounds like I have some JavaScript debugging to do. (I'm one of the devs)

#106This is kickass... is the whole thing happening in JS or server side? Any idea what algorithms are being used?

I just gave it another shot with the same results in all browsers.
Edit: I'm in Japan and going through a http proxy, if that makes a difference.

#108Miraculous. Took me 15 seconds to remove this picture of my lovebird from a pretty busy background: http://clippingmagic.com/images/10765/f5ddd90ec956d482174e7e...
I thought it'd have trouble since the bird is constantly changing colors but with just a scribble and a circle it figured it out.

May do. I think it uses websockets and they are a little temperamental over proxies.

What kind of question is that? This is a web app and not many people use GIMP.
