Sorry Jesus, now I found it when I downloaded the whole tutorial.

[@EricaDyson]

But in these examples there's a big contrast between the subject and the background. I was meaning how to remove when there is very little contrast.

super tuto !

[@keithsimpson8676]

Excellent.

[@PPDanYT]

A well spent 15min... Concise-precice overall, clear 'beginner friendly' instuctions, clean presentation, easy to follow plus a bonus brush. Also an enthusiasm charismatic personality, no wonder those well-deserved subs, still think there might be some hidden funny bloopers.😅About the cloud remover, i guess it's a 'right to use - no distribution' thing. SD web-ui "a1111" also offer a free background remover but don't know if it's from same sources. Anyhow, thanks for this tutorial!

[@mattwalker5383]
