I was getting bored with cutting out images from their backgrounds for a project I was working on. Existing solutions didn’t seem that great or wanted a monthly subscription, so this weekend I decided to build my own.

With 0 knowledge of Swift and a bit of ML experience I was able to build a Mac app that does a much better job of it than the built-in model.

Planning more features, including upscaling, exposure/contrast fixes and possibly inpainting.
