FAQ
Common questions for this workflow
Can every strand of hair be preserved?
Not always. Fine hair and low-contrast backgrounds need close review and sometimes a better source photo.
Can I use the result for an ID document?
Use official document requirements and manual review. AI processing can alter edges and may not be accepted by the issuing authority.
Why test on light and dark backgrounds?
A halo that is hard to see on one background can become obvious on another.
