| Fixture findings | Strong subject retention, little background residue and full-size output in this test; scope is limited to the recorded fixture. | The curly-haired subject stays intact in this test; a thin warm transition remains around fine strands. |
| 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. | Across green and pure-black backdrops, the main curly hair volume remains solid, with a thin warm background halo around outer flyaway strands. |
