1. General Background Removal vs. Partial Cutout

Standard background removers simply identify the largest subject and erase everything else. However, sometimes you need surgical precision—like extracting just one person from a group photo, or lifting hand-written text off a piece of paper to use as a digital sticker.

2. Fine-Tuning with Person, Face, and Text Cutout Modes

Dabomlab's partial cutout tool utilizes AI and advanced color matching. 'Person Mode' traces body outlines smoothly, while 'Face Mode' strictly isolates headshots. For text, our new 'Text Cutout Mode' lets you use an eyedropper to select text colors directly. Simply click the letters to select multiple colors, adjust the 'Tolerance' slider to fine-tune the match, and watch the background disappear. This extracts only the crisp ink strokes as a transparent PNG, perfect for design assets.

3. Perfecting Results with Eraser and Restore Brushes

Even the smartest AI might leave background artifacts near hair or complex edges. Utilizing the provided Eraser and Restore brushes over the initial cutout allows you to manually scrub away messy areas or retrieve accidentally erased parts, resulting in a flawless graphic asset.
