How to make better use of UltraPic's Refine Mask feature?
UltraPic's "refine mask" feature is one of its core strengths, allowing you to precisely control details after automatic image cropping to achieve perfect image background processing results. Here are some tips on how to make better use of this feature.
Refine Mask: Fixing Imperfections Along the Edges of the Image
If imperfections appear along the edges of the image after using UltraPic to automatically remove the background, you can utilize the "Refine mask" feature for precise editing.
The Steps of Using Refine Mask
Step 1: Click "Refine mask".
First, locate and click the “Refine mask” option to enter the manual editing interface.
Step 2: Manually "Erase" or "Add".
Erase: remove unnecessary background or edge parts from the image.
Add: to restore accidentally deleted image areas.
Brush Size: Adjust the brush size as needed for more precise detail handling.
Step 3: Adjust Overlay Color and Opacity Settings.
You can change the color and opacity of the overlay mask here.
Note:
The Overlay Color here is only used to help you view and adjust the detail area.
It will not change the background color of your final image.
Step 4: Click “Apply”.
After completing the detail adjustments, click the “Apply” button to save your changes.
