When you add images to a Batch, Photoroom automatically imports them and removes their backgrounds, usually with excellent results. For more complex images, you might notice minor imperfections. If that happens, open the image in the main editor and refine it using the Edit Cutout tool.
For example, in the images below, the original cutout has a woman on a seat and a bag is visible next to her leg. We don't want to include the bag in the image, so we use Edit Cutout to erase it.
Steps (iOS)
In the Batch Editor:
Create a new batch or resume a previous batch.
Select the image with the cutout issue to open it in the main editor.
Select the background layer.
Select Retouch.
If the foreground object is shown on the background layer, use Retouch to remove it so that the background only shows the background. Select Done when you are finished.
Select the foreground layer and use Edit Cutout to:
Erase - remove parts of the image
Restore - bring back parts of the image.
Select the checkmark to confirm and then select X to exit the editor.
Choose whether to apply the same changes to the other images in the batch. Typically, you would not apply cutout changes to all images, as different images will have different cutouts.
Note: If Edit Cutout doesn’t seem to work, the foreground image is likely still present on the background layer. This can happen when using the Original template or an AI Background. Use Retouch to remove the foreground image from the background layer.
Learn how to use Edit Cutout
Edit Cutout for batch images works the same way as editing individual images outside of a batch. Learn how it works in Remove and restore with Edit Cutout (iOS) . The important difference in Batch is that that when you exit the main editor, Photoroom asks whether you want to apply your changes to all images.
