Background Remover

Background Remover is a Photoshop compatible plugin for Windows, developed by ImageSkill. It can be embedded into Adobe Photoshop, Corel Paint Shop Pro, IrfanView, XnView, etc. and allows you to easily and quickly select various objects in digital images with complex backgrounds while retaining such fine details of objects as fluttering hair strands and blurred borders. It requires only approximation of the object and background with special markings and selection of a tool for background removal.

The quality and speed of object selection exceeds all expectations. It simply removes unnecessary parts of the image and subtracts the background color in the transit area between the object and the background. Compared to the well-known masking tools Background Remover is not implemented in the form of a brush and does not require you to specify the exact color of the object and the background. All you have to do is to roughly mark the object and the background and select the background removal method from the toolbar. The excellent result, unlike other similar programs (Adobe Magic Extractor, Corel Knock-Out, Microsoft Expression) is achieved in less time. Background Remover has the ability to adjust the "force of erasure" to get the desired result.

If necessary, the user can take advantage of additional options to improve the quality of the result and make it more pleasant to perceive. These include the option to blur the boundaries of the object mask and the option to compress the object mask. The former is used to smooth out inaccuracies in the mask and obtain a smooth transition from object to background, and the latter is used to remove unwanted color fringing around the object and smooth out the object's contour. The plougine allows manual correction of the result with the Erase/Restore tool implemented as a brush. The quality of the selection is controlled by superimposing the result on different backgrounds. Background Remover v.3.1 has a multilanguage interface.
