This week we’ve added a few quality of life improvements around the app. Background and Sky are now available as quick select options for masking. Additionally, a bounding box will now appear while masking with the Remove Tool to provide a visual indicator for the input to the model.
As always, a full change log is below.
Please give us any feedback or report issues with this release. We’ll be updating TPAI regularly to address those pieces of feedback and issue reports. If there’s a specific image you’d like us to see, you can send it us at this dropbox link.
Tried twice to install. Turned off AVI. 1st of all windows (Win10) flags it as “unknown publisher” (said OK to install) and then installer claims corrupted “cab” files and cannot complete installation.
Where are we going with a selected “sky” and “Background” ???
So I can select those elements… why? in this product??? When would I want to “sharpen” or “denoise” a background or sky without doing the same to the subject???
Mac Mini M1, Sonoma 14.2, 16GB
In-app installation smooth and fast.
I don’t see the point of the Sky mask at this point. Who would ever want to sharpen a sky? Denoise maybe.
Besides, the sky selection is pretty poor. An example here, showing that a lot of refining would be needed (and it wouldn’t be able to cope with the struts in the tower at all):
The fact that object removal can be used to replace with something better has been brilliant for some workflows.
For example, dodgy crooked eyes in Stable Diffusion generated images can be replaced with better more realistic ones.
Trick is, controlling when you want to literally remove and replace with the background/surroundings vs replace with another version of the same thing which is repaired, deglitched or better.
Ideally, both functions should be on the table, as repairing is just as important and useful as removing.
One problem: when replacing small objects, quite often there are failed attempts which insert a couple of letters of text or a iconized cat’s head or similar completely out of nowhere (not remotely obtainable from the context of the image). Tends to happen when the replacement area is a single small spot.
