Ashampoo Background Remover 2

For preparing subject cutouts and placing photographs against a new background. Ashampoo Background Remover 2 removes photo backgrounds automatically with AI that detects people and objects down to strands of hair, with a brush for correcting difficult areas. The background can be made transparent, replaced with a colour or another image, or blurred with a bokeh effect; images can be upscaled up to 400% and saved as JPG, PNG, BMP or TIFF. Processing runs locally, one image at a time. Background removal helps prepare a subject for a different context. A product can be placed against a plain background, or a portrait can become part of another composition. The foreground selection is the important step: the outline should include the material you want to keep while excluding distractions around it. Replacing the background provides a useful check because imperfections that blend into the original image may become visible against a different colour. Automatic detection may need correction around hair, transparent objects and edges with little contrast. Inspect those areas before saving a final result. Retain the original photograph so that the selection can be revisited if the image is later needed for another layout. A clean source with a clearly separated subject generally provides a better starting point.
