• Show HN: Image background removal without annoying subscriptions

  Absolutely, that was our original take on https://clippingmagic.com where the editor lets you easily make changes to the result. But almost all API users and most regular users just want a result and to not have to futz with it, hence this offering. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

• Show HN: Image background removal without annoying subscriptions

  We'll likely add complementary AI models (e.g. super-resolution, stable diffusion, etc), with the broad bet being that businesses definitely don't want to run their own service, and would prefer off-the-shelf to custom models (for which there's a bunch of hosting options). For background removal specifically, all models will inevitably have some failure rate. https://clippingmagic.com is the only one with a... - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago

  Use https://clippingmagic.com or one of the many other alternatives. Source: over 2 years ago

• AI Background Remover by PhotoRoom

  Some are free (but then usually poor quality), others cost money (usually with some resolution limited freebie or credits-on-signup). I run https://clippingmagic.com, which launched here on hn eight years ago now - time flies [1]. We were #1 until the recent surge in DL-based solutions. It’s more fun to be the disruptor, but getting disrupted sure brought some renewed focus - competition works ;) Just updated our... - Source: Hacker News / almost 3 years ago

• Photomator for Mac

  I'm pretty new to photography. I understand a lot of the basics (ex-wife shot as a professional hobbyist for a few years) but never really paid much attention to her editing workflow. Adobe already gets me for $20/mo for Illustrator (because designers) and I looked at alternatives. I've been using darktable http://darktable.org since I got my camera about a month ago and it's nice enough for me. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Nudibranch (Nembrotha cristata), Verde Island, Philippines, April 2023

  Thank you! The shot was gently edited in darktable. More TG-5 / single strobe examples here. Source: about 1 year ago

• I've seen it with Adobe

  No, unfortunately not. But check out the free Darktable app which is similar on darktable.org and also this list https://petapixel.com/best-free-raw-editing-programs/. Source: over 1 year ago

• Exporting a RAW file. Is it possible without the format changing? If I export to another folder on my mac it becomes a .jpeg, to Lightroom it becomes a .jpg, to Photoshop it becomes a .tiff. I want to be able to edit the RAW file, a .dng in another app that is not Apple proprietary.

  It sounds like you might want non-destructive editing. Look at something like darktable.org or Lightroom. You can edit your RAW files in multiple different ways, i.e., effectively keeping multiple copies of edited RAW files around. Source: almost 2 years ago

• Software to edit and enhance Photos (JPG and RAW).

  If you're looking to learn more complicated software without having to rent it while you do, there's Darktable. Rawtherapee is another app in the same category, and usually appeals to people who don't like Darktable's interface. Source: about 2 years ago
