The latest version of Photos in Windows 11 lets you send obtrusive backgrounds right to hell. Edit Photo — Background — Remove — Apply — Save Options (copy to clipboard, overwrite old image or save as new) — buh-bye. As a Blind technologist i constantly need to chase away background clutter before #graphics can work for #tactile / #Blind perception, whether i’m embossing, using swellform or 3d printing. Sighted people, you'll probably like this too.
@matt This method works with most file formats. Often i’m not dealing with a photo (unless i’m 3d printing a relief, most photos are too complex). More likely, i’ve selected something that by all rights SHOULD be good for tactile, like a Keith Haring painting or some sort of clip art or a mandala — or something i asked generative AI for. Simplifying photos is a whole other thing that has not been solved yet.
