| Original historical observation | High foreground recall (99.81%) and low background leak (0.038%); transition band error mad_band=0.1036, SAD(k)=40.93, with mild edge softening when upsampled from the 500×500 free preview. | LightX cleanly segments the portrait silhouette (99.89% foreground recall) and offers instant backdrop color previews on the result page (02_workspace.png), though the 480×480 guest resolution cap pixelates fine flyaway curls. |
