Background Eraser For Mac

Background Eraser is a smooth-running application for the Mac that makes it as easy as possible to remove backgrounds from your photos with the help of a small collection of editing tools.

In order to take advantage of Background Eraser’s set of capabilities, you must first load a photo by either dragging and dropping it from your Mac’s HDD onto its interface, or with the help of its “Open” menu.

Once the image is loaded, you can choose to remove backgrounds with  one of three tools namely “Extract objects”, “Remove with brush”, and “Fix image”, each and one of them with its own specific set of skills.

The “Exact objects” tool is one of the most powerful brush in Background Eraser’s toolset because it enables you to add a mask over the areas you want to keep or remove.

You can easily toggle between “area to keep” and “area to remove” modes, as well as increase or decrease the brushes size with the help of the mouse scroll wheel, and, in order for the changes to take effect one single click on the “Deep etch image” is all that’s necessary.

The “Remove with a brush” tool offers you a more precise and direct alternative to remove backgrounds. You can adjust the brush’s size and intensity, and manually brush out parts of the background.

In case that the final result does not satisfy you, and maybe mistakes were made during the editing process, you can easily either revert the changes,  or bring out certain parts of the background with the help of Background Eraser’s efficient “Fix image” brush.

Last but not least, Background Erase gives you the possibility to save your edited photos with or without a background. This can be achieved by clicking the “Save image with background toggling” button, at the bottom of  its window.

Background Eraser is a small and effective OS X app that offers a more accessible and user-friendly alternative for removing backgrounds from your photos over other more comprehensive photo editors out there.
