This is beautifully done -- great UX, truly impressive tech. My wife loves it and is using it to repurpose some shots from our wedding for e.g. Christmas cards.
Some pictures needed more work than others, but the results were always great!
I get "Your Browser Is Out Of Date... Terribly sorry, but your browser appears to be missing key feature(s) required to use this website: Data URL Support Please try the latest version of one of these browsers instead: Google Chrome, Firefox", however I'm using Safari 5.1: data URL support has been in Safari since 3.1 (according to http://caniuse.com/datauri ).
I get the same message for FF 21.0 on my phone ... it's the current beta release, so I'm not sure how to run anything newer without building it myself... 😓
How does this compare to the gimp "Foreground Select tool"? http://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-foreground-select.html
Doesn't matter. Gimp is insanely hard to use. This isn't.
Because this is exactly how the gimp tool works - you highlight the foreground, background areas and it shows you in real time what it's picking.
It's so similar to it I was wondering if it actually IS it (behind the scenes).
Earlier quoted context omitted.

I guess you've never actually used gimp. Because this is exactly how the gimp tool works - you highlight the foreground, background areas and it shows you in real time what it's picking. It's so similar to it I was wondering if it actually IS it (behind the scenes).
Does work well in high contrast shots.
Tried removing a background from a stock car photo. It involved quite a bit of precise mouse wiggling and the end result was still pretty sloppy looking. I assume there are cases where this works well, but it would probably help clarifying what those are before inviting people to try the tool out.
This 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.
This is really slick. I work at a newspaper where we do a lot of cutouts and I've looked at several automatic tools to save people time, and I think this is the best I have seen in terms of balancing ease of use with accuracy. The only thing I might suggest is that for photos with softer edges, you might offer some degree of "feathering" on the edges of the cut out. I don't know how hard this is with your algorithm,…
(I'm one of the devs.) Thanks! Yes, adding user-controlled edge blur is a great idea. So much to do, so little time.
Did you guys consider in the future to add multiple object segmentation? That looks like a natural next step. Keep it up the good work! :)
