Hi there, I would like to try this software, but cannot run the demo on Mac M2. Wondering if the full version will install on Mac M2?
Hi robinne,
This happens because Apple blocks applications from unidentified developers. The same will happen with the full version.
If you want to run this application, you can read the official guide from Apple here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102445#openanyway
got it, forgot about that setting! thanks
This is great software. I purchased it and included an extra tip to support the developer. Unfortunately, it has not been updated in a while. I emailed the author last year letting him know that I loved the software, and I hope he would continue to work on it and keep it updated. He was very nice in his reply and I have hopes that he will issue another update soon.
I suggested that it needs some basic settings such as controlling the strength of the removal. Also, as another user commented (sharkaccident), a brush where you could highlight parts to assist the AI in correct removal would be great. I love the simplicity of the software, but a few basic features added would really take it to the next level. Take a look at some popular online tools to remove backgrounds, and most of them have a few extra features to make sure the right things are being removed.
I hope the author doesn't abandon this software. All it needs is some more polish and more marketing and I know it could be very successful.
This does a great job, I would only suggest an add/remove brush button to help assist the AI in determining what needs to be removed by painting on (or off) the image after first pass attempt.
This is pretty impressive, there's still some artifacts in this image that I put into the demo - but it did do a better job of selecting the correct edges than either Photoshop or remove.bg.
The more I use it, the more this feels like it definitely has a long way to go. There's a bad habit of making random parts of the image semi-transparent despite them being high contrast relative to the background, and it doesn't do as good of a job removing exterior halos around objects as I'd like.
I think the main problem is that it seems like you primarily trained on photographs. If I put in a photo, or something like a movie poster, it does a reasonably good job; but with digital art the software fails to identify the correct subject more often than not.
