MORE ABOUT IMAGE EXTRACTION:
The extraction process is simple:
(1) Load an image (or capture via a camera on iPhone).
(2) Choose "Extract object" from the menu at the bottom.
(3) Use the "Rough outline" tool to quickly paint a very
rough outline of the object (this outline can be coarse,
but should cover the actual object boundary).
(4) Click "Next" and use the "Foreground" bucket fill tool
to fill in the rest of the foreground object.
(5) Click "Extract object".
(6) Optionally further refine the extracted image if desired.
Click "Edit clipping". Use "Erase" to erase and "Restore"
to undo any erasures.
Note: You can always use the "Move/zoom" tool to drag and
zoom the image. Single touch to drag, pinch to control zoom.
All the example output images were created within only a couple minutes.
