Edit Cutout lets you control which parts of a layer are kept and which are removed. It's especially useful when the Background Remover has removed too much or too little of your image, as it lets you fine-tune the cutout.
How it works:
You activate Edit Cutout.
You choose Erase to remove or Restore to recover removed areas.
You paint over the area to remove or restore.
Photoroom redraws the cutout.

Edit Cutout settings
Edit Cutout has these settings:
Assisted
Manual
Erase

Brush Size.
Assisted
Photoroom helps you to select the area to erase or restore. Instead of painting over the area, you can tap on the area and Photoroom will select it automatically. To choose the area, it analyses the color of the pixels and the content of the image.
Manual
Use this mode if you want to manually paint over the area that Photoroom should erase or restore.
Erase
Select this mode to remove unwanted parts of an image. Draw over the area you want to remove and Photoroom will delete it.
Restore
Select this mode to recover parts of the background that were previously removed. Draw over the area you want to recover and Photoroom will add it back into the image.
Brush size
Use to change the size of the brush for manually selecting an area. This is only available when using Manual mode.
