Standard Setting-Efficient Background Removal

Feature Requests

DESIGN FILES STANDARD FEATURE REQUEST: BACKGROUND REMOVAL TOOL: When we pull in a new product to a design board, we need it to stop doing only a 20% removal of a white color. It washes out the photo and doesn’t actually remove the background, and if we forget that we have to adjust literally every single image, the quality of our presentations goes down rather than up which is DF’s aim. I believe most of us would agree that it would be better to do the full fledge Magic Remover automatically and we can edit from there bc 9.5x/10 magic remover gets it right, but Simple Auto Remover gets it right maybe .5/10 times. I realize that the Magic Remover Tool is for pro accounts, so maybe this is also a pro feature setting. TIA!

    PLEASE make the magic remover a default option! SOOOO much time would be saved.

    Remove Background Settings

    It would be great if once you are in this function, if you toggle OFF “simple auto remover” and then toggle ON “Magic Remover”, the system auto-saves this as a preferred setting and will update as the settings across all boards once initiated. I use this 100% of the time so it would be great if the system recognized as preferred.

    Adding in for a designer P.P.
    1. add an eraser - when doing the auto background removal sometimes it leaves things that we want to erase and it would be so easy to erase. 2. When manually removing the background it is quite difficult to touch the starting point sometimes - it would be helpful if the curser turned green or red so we know we hit the starting point.

    In addition to “magic remove” being standard it would be nice to be able to tweak the background removal like you can in Canva with an adjustable circular eraser. The trace tool is useless and I find myself having to remove my own backgrounds with other tools outside of DF and then having to upload them which is a waste of my time.
