Remove.bg is a Website That Removes Backgrounds from Portraits in Seconds (petapixel.com)
An anonymous reader shares a report: If you often find yourself needing to remove the backgrounds from photos but don't have the time to manually do it, you might want to bookmark Remove.bg. It's a simple free website that automatically removes the backgrounds from photos in just 5 seconds with a single click.
Simply use the button on the homepage to select a photo from your computer (or you can also enter a photo's URL on the Web). The website then processes the photo and shows the result in moments. Under the result is a button that lets you download it as a PNG image with a transparent background.

I tried it, and it's not perfect at distinguishing foreground from background, so the picture of myself I gave it came back with a huge black lump on the side of my faces that should have been part of the background. Of course, I could clean up that minor imperfection in photoshop.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
20 years ago, my wife and I ran an independent online children's bookstore. Our catalog/shopping cart was, to a large degree, hand-built by me (yay Perl and FoxPro), and the product images (only for monthly features) were scanned from publisher paper catalogs. It was ridiculous levels of effort to clean those images up (especially with Photoshop Elements, we couldn't afford more than that).
It was the best of times (a search on Yahoo or AltaVista had as much a chance of finding us as Amazon when you searched for a title), it was the worst of times (not enough volume to get discounts on rapidly-rising credit card and shipping fees). We got out with a small profit... but I would have loved to have had today's image tools.

... that removes spam from Slashdot?
Yeah. Why is it always "with a single click?" Nothing is ever with a single click. You have to double-click just to open your damn browser. In what world does everything amount to "the very last thing I did"? In that case, I'd like to swim across the English Channel with "a single stroke," write a novel with "a single word," drive across the country on "a single gallon of gas, in a single minute". It's stupid, and for damn near 30 years there hasn't been a software marketing person capable of advertising their product without using the phrase.
"I promoted something on a computer without using a single outrageous cliche" - now THAT is a statement someone should be proud of!

I can't find a good pho shop around me. There's one that tastes fantastic but I stopped going after they kept getting C grades for health inspection.

Have people really forgotten about this awesomeness?

I'm curious because I would think that the majority of people that come to this site can probably remove backgrounds it themselves with photoshop/Paint.net/Gimp/Krita/etc. I guess it's less work but I would think that most people here would pride themselves on being able to do it themselves.
Secondly, I don't see any privacy/ownership statements on this - couldn't this be a way for the owners of the site to collect personal pictures or even gain access to a user's computer?
Hopefully I won't get slammed like my last post.
I don't find it Slashdot-worthy. It's more like a random posting on Reddit fishing for bored upvotes "Hey look at this cool site."
Okay.
