"With advancement of AI-based tools like remove.bg, we sought an opportunity to provide a bigger value to customers: we decided to deep-dive into AI development, utilizing our unique advantage," said Ken Watanabe, CEO of Media Backoffice, Inc.
Comparative tests show a significant improvement in resulting quality when using ImageMatting.com. For a catalog of hundreds of products or portraits, ImageMatting.com will save graphics pros hours of mind-numbing work.
