Erase parts of an image
Restore parts of an image that have been removed.

On the Create page, Select Start from photo and then choose an image to import. Alternatively, select Your Content and then choose an existing design to edit.
If you imported a new image, select a template so that your image has a background layer.
Select an object on your image.
Select Edit Cutout.
You now have options for Assisted and Manual cutouts. You can use either or both to edit your image. In the following steps, we will explain how to use both features.
Select Assisted.
In this mode, Photoroom will help you by detecting objects and areas that have a similar color.
Select the mode for editing:
Erase to remove parts of the image
Restore to recover parts of the image.
Tap on an area of the image that you want to erase or restore. Photoroom will detect pixels of a similar color in that area and will remove or restore them.
For best results, tap on a specific point. If you "draw" a line over an area, you will get a less precise result as Photoroom will add or remove a larger area.
Select Manual.
In this mode, Photoroom does not assist. It will only add or remove the pixels you select.
Select the mode for editing, either Erase or Restore.
Select the Brush width. This controls the size of the area you select.
Note that you can change the size of the brush while you are editing. Drag the settings up from the bottom of the screen and set the Brush width.
Draw over the area that you want to add or remove.
For more precision, use gestures to zoom in, zoom out, and pan your image.
Select Done to approve your changes and close the Edit Cutout tool.
