| Fixture findings | Strong subject retention, little background residue and full-size output in this test; scope is limited to the recorded fixture. | Relatively clean translucent hair edges; the 2048px input became a 1673px output in this test. |
| 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. | VanceAI BGremover segments frizzy curly hair transitions cleanly (mad_band=0.0950, bg_leak=0.222%) with zero visible color fringing across green, black, and white backdrops; its only limitation is normalizing 2048px input to 1673×1673. |
| 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 who want high-precision no-login hair cutouts (1673×1673 unwatermarked) and seamless chaining with 4x upscaling or sharpening in one workspace |
