| Fixture findings | Strong subject retention, little background residue and full-size output in this test; scope is limited to the recorded fixture. | This test exported a free 1280px image without a watermark; a translucent halo remains around the hair. |
| Original historical observation | Powered by the Photoroom engine inside Krea Edit, achieving low global error (SAD(k)=37.841), 99.73% foreground recall, and 0.10% background leak at full 2048×2048 resolution. | DeWatermark Background Remover cleanly isolates the portrait subject (99.50% foreground recall) and exports a watermark-free 1280×1280 RGBA PNG, leaving a mild soft halo around fine outer curls (mad_band = 0.2254). |
| Suitable uses · historical assessment | Designers already using Krea for inpainting or upscaling who want 1-click 2048×2048 transparent cutouts in the same canvas | Users already using DeWatermark who need a quick no-login 1280×1280 transparent cutout |
