Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use precise image recoloring on any type of image?
A pic background change shouldn’t affect the overall image quality, but in some cases, it can. To minimize the impact on image quality when changing backgrounds, it's important to start with high-resolution source images, choose a new background that matches the subject's lighting and color, use appropriate editing techniques, and select a file format that preserves quality, such as TIFF. Practicing and improving your photo editing skills can also help achieve better results with minimal quality loss.
