    Removing backgrounds used to be a highly specialized skill that took hours, or plugins that cost hundreds of dollars. Same with eye and teeth touch-up. It’s crazy how automated Photoshop stuff is these days.

        I just cut the background out using a free website two days ago! All I had to do was upload it, and some AI system recognized the people and knew how to cut them out. Oh, and it’s built right into the Apple photo app now. They can just drag the people and they pop right off the background. It’s amazing! I used to have to use the extraction tool, the pen tool, and hours worth of time to get hair cropped out looking realistic. We’re living in the fuuuutuurre!
