i have a tree to cut out. its an almost ideal scenario, on a flat blue sky with no buildings behind the tree.. however its a pine tree… which means pine needles. i cannot get a decent mask, it always has a ton of blue fringing. id have hoped in the world of AI there would be some amazing one-click solution by now. is there?
Yeah kind of. Take it into Stable Diffusion and use a mask of the offending trees to tell it where to work on 
I would probably get the best extraction you can, then put it on a black or some other keyable colour background and then run the SD routine. It should be easier to then key it out.
You can maybe upscale it beforehand also, to get some more pixel info into it.
Hi Bart, well im not entirely sure i understand the workflow. so i generate the best mask i can, bring the image into stable diffusion, plus the mask… then? “Yeah kind of. Take it into Stable Diffusion and use a mask of the offending trees to tell it where to work on”
work on in what sense? will it generate an tree with a clean alpha/transparency channel for me from my tree and a ropey mask?
