You joke, but in the VFX industry, there ARE people whose sole job is rotoscoping (tracing around stuff) full time.
Got a tip for us?

Hi, yes there is when you paste it into another application for example in Word. It is basically a white box with the cropped image in it. This is one I placed into a word document for example.
To be fair, it’s still not of the quality you’d want to send it to the printers. But this is certainly not going to help when you’re trying to justify the hours you need for a project.
It might, but then .... you can't justify work that people aren't willing to pay you to do either.
If "eh, good enough" is really good enough for most people? That just means the technology came far enough to obsolete what you used to do manually.
I have many photographer friends and I hear all the bellyaching about people's unwillingness to fairly compensate them for their work, or their failure to appreciate what they do at a "pro" level. Ultimately though? People don't care how much you know about F-stops, shutter speeds and rules of composition. They just want a bunch of great photos for an event. And I think increasingly, the pro photographer can contribute more just by having a good ability to pose people in creative and effective ways. Most photos of people come out better if the photographer is good at giving a few brief instructions, or possibly even going up to people and guiding some of them into just the right stance. That's the stuff that no fancy computerized camera setup is going to be able to do. That, and having good communications skills and the ability to slink through crowds and get good shots in a "ninja like" manner, so it's not disruptive.
Last wedding and reception I attended, for example? Everyone loved the photographer they used because he was practically invisible as the "wedding photographer" 99% of the time. He interacted with everyone, even giving a toast while others were giving speeches, and hung out at various tables, getting to know all the guests. He had a way of just casually pulling out his camera though, and getting some great photos of everyone, without it feeling awkward. The only time you really realized he was the paid professional photographer was the brief period where they requested various groups come up for posed group photos, and he did a good job with those too. Usually, people strongly dislike the annoying photographer who keeps interrupting conversations or pulls people away for this and that. Too many of them act like what they're doing is the most important thing going on.
oooh you’re giving me Lawnmowerman vibes, but more like Disclosure (1994 - Michael Douglas VR)
Pixel let user erases object on a photo and the AI creates the close to real part of that area. Just get an object out is very simple task not even AI level, photoshop can auto highlight object like 20 years ago.
It's called "select subject" I think, and yeah seems like CC 2020 added it. No longer will I say that CS6 is the same as the new versions.
Hi @TimB21 It takes the same colour. Also with a little bit of messing around, I managed to get a landscape background to work.

No, it has a frame around the image that obviously blends in, which is good. it isn’t just the image that transfers but maybe that will come at some point.
It does as you cannot freely use the space around the cropped image, but it does blend which I think is pretty decent . It is not the same as you would get in photoshop for example, but I have found some interesting ways of using it already, for fun of course.

As mentioned in the video the extracted image is a PNG with a transparent background - as can be seen by dragging a subject out into files where it creates a PNG Image file and then opening that file in an editor such as affinity.
So there is no white background! There is a selection frame around the image. The background is transparent.
Opening a photo with preview, there is the option to 'Remove Background' directly below 'Crop' in the Tools dropdown menu. If the photo is not .png a popup appears asking "Convert this document to PNG?" and text stating "Your last edit adds transparency, which the current document format does not support. Converting will replace the existing file." Clicking on 'Convert' converts the photo to .png and auto removes the background.
Not sure if this option appeared under Tools prior to the Ventura beta but this is the first time I've noticed it.
