Use High-Contrast Photos
Background removal works best when the subject stands out clearly.
Adjust Tolerance

Feather for Natural Edges
Small feathering (1-2px) creates natural-looking edges for hair and fur.
Use Manual Touch-Up
Use eraser and restore brushes at high zoom for pixel-perfect precision.
