BraveCLHow to compare a portrait cutout on Mac
See a portrait before and after automatic background removal, and inspect where the cutout preserves hair and edges.
- What you'll achieve
- You will have a portrait cutout on a transparent background with the original and edited views shown side by side for inspection.
- What you need
- Background Cut Studio installed on your Mac.
- A portrait photo you want to isolate from its background.
Background Cut Studio can remove a portrait's background automatically. Use its comparison view to check the result against the original before making refinements.
1.Open the photo workbench
Open Background Cut Studio. The empty workbench offers Import image so you can bring in a photo.

Tips
Look for the checkerboard pattern behind the subject: it indicates transparent pixels.
Drag the vertical comparison divider across the hairline and shoulders to see what changed.
Watch outThe comparison view is only a visual check; it does not change the cutout or save a PNG. Use Export image separately when you want an exported file.
