Getting started
- Open the photograph, duplicate its layer and select the subject while keeping the original intact.
- Turn the selection into a mask, refine edges and save the project separately from the transparent export.
Decision points
- Distinguish manual masking from the one-click AI tool; check AI access in the current account.
Limits
- Complex hair and translucent objects need care. Local processing statements should not be extended to every AI service.
