Common questions
- Can overlapping objects make the task harder?
- Yes. When one object hides part of another, the system may struggle to place their edges correctly.
- Why are hair and transparent objects difficult?
- Their edges blend with the background, making a clean separation harder.
- Does a neat outline prove the right object was chosen?
- No. A mask can look tidy while covering the wrong thing or leaving part of it out.
