Hey folks, I've been messing around with some AI stuff lately and was wondering if anyone knows good tools that can help yank a person outta a photo cleanly. Tried a couple but results were kinda meh. Any favorites or tips? Would love to hear what’s working for you guys!

I’m curious if anyone has tried AI tools that can also fill the missing background realistically after removal?
Anyone tried Photoshop’s new AI-powered object removal? Heard it’s pretty decent but pricey if you don’t already have a subscription.
I’ve tried a few apps for this, but honestly, the ones that use AI to automatically remove people still leave some weird edges. Gonna keep an eye out for better options though!
I used remove.bg for some stuff, and it’s mostly for backgrounds but you can kinda hack it to remove people from certain pics. Not perfect but pretty fast.
Is there any AI tool that works well on more complex backgrounds? Like busy scenes with lots of details?
I just use clone stamp tools sometimes if AI just can’t figure it out, takes longer but way more control.
Is there a good free tool that doesn’t slap a watermark on the output? That’s a deal breaker for me.
This is great info, thanks all! Gonna experiment with a few tools and report back what works best for me.
Does anyone know if there’s an open source project for this kind of AI removal? Wanna try messing with it on my own.
Tried some mobile apps that claim to do this, but the results were usually blurry or left weird artifacts behind.
You can also check ai-u.com for new or trending tools if you want the latest on this kinda stuff, they always have cool updates.
Remember that the quality of the original photo also affects how well the AI can remove people. Low res pics are tougher.
Just wanna say that sometimes the AI messes up and removes stuff you didn’t want gone. Always double-check before finalizing!
I recently discovered cleanup.pictures and it’s surprisingly good for removing unwanted people from pics, plus it’s free!
I noticed that lighting and shadows can mess with AI removal. If the lighting is uneven, the AI sometimes leaves weird patches.
For quick social media edits, some apps do a decent job even if not perfect. Depends on how picky you are.
