Slick Trick
« on: September 17, 2019, 09:21:23 am »
Just in case there are a few of you that use images online, I found a new tool today that blew me away.

I have (and use) Photoshop Elements a lot, but just last week I wanted to remove a cluttered background from a photo of myself and spent an hour or two studying YouTube Videos and practicing, only to get a fair result. Frustrating to say the least.

So you can imagine how thrilled I was to find a web based app that did the job in 5 seconds or so and even replaced the background with a new one (even your own image) if a few more seconds.

I did play with it for a while and it's not perfect, but it actually made me giggle it was so cool. I did discover that the images need to be optimized and resized before they work well, but there are lots of places online you can do that for free too.

So for those who are wondering what this is all about, go try out remove.bg

Have fun playing with it.

Buddy,   

Great tool.  Have tried other background removers, hard to find good ones, and some out there have other functions also but none work as well as this one does.  Darn good job for a free site.

Like you I am always looking for great tools and I too use fusion cash earnings to finance my other business(es)   Look into laughing bird software, find the one that is cloud based, and for a one time
fee its use is unlimited, and one can make banners, logos, headers, name it and you can do it.  You can also import your own pictures.   I make my squeeze pages with it and then use my web site to host the squeezes or use "logo" software to host it.

I can also host squeeze pages for my business partners, and fusion cash pays for most of this also.

Logo is another software element that fusion cash paid for.   Ad Kreator is another one, plus I go to Best Buy, and other stores to find and buy software, (fusion cash money) and install them to my computer.  I am not good on downloading software so I stay away from buying and downloading software as nothing works well for me on those downloads.

Fusion cash has been good for me and for the growth of my other endeavors.  If those found tools  have a one time fee on it, I sometimes upgrade and so far most all have been worth it.  Again, fusion cash money.

So any time you find a good tool to use holler and pass it on and I will do the same.

This was fun to play around with.  I think I will enjoy when I work with it a little more.

Thanks. I am going to go try it now. I love taking pictures and altering them. I have two programs I use and always looking to try something new.

I hope to remember this information for if and when I ever try to do something like this.  I love YouTube.  Good source for knowledge.

Bookmark and take notes in something like keep.google.com (you need a Google account like Gmail)

One thing I like is you can have more than one Google Account for different focus points (like Fusioncash related) and pull them up from any computer online.
