Pictor can cut your guest out of their background, so you can drop them onto a themed scene, a branded backdrop, or nothing at all. It works on captured photos and on AI-generated images.
Important - Using background removal makes the event Pro, whichever option you choose.
Add it to a template
-
Open your event and click the Flow tab.
-
Open the Choose Experience stage and open a template.
-
Select the Capture element.
-
Open Effects and add Cutout.
Note - The effect is called Cutout in the editor.
Note - Cutout can only be applied to a still Image capture.
Tip - Cutout quality depends far more on your lighting than on any setting. An evenly lit guest cuts out cleanly; a badly lit one looks rough however it is processed.
Cutout is applied to the capture element.
On an AI image
Add an AI Output element, choose your prompt, and apply Cutout to that layer. The effect works on the generated image rather than the original photo.
Using several captures
Each capture element has its own settings. You can cut out one and leave another untouched in the same template — useful for a collage where one photo is the subject and another is scenery.
Tip - Add a Blend effect on top for a more finished look. Blend and Cutout can be used together.
If you have a real green screen
Use the Green Screen effect instead. It is built for it, and guests get a background picker — "Select a background" — so they choose their own scene.
Good uses for it
-
A "greenless green screen" where there is no room for a physical backdrop
-
Themed scenes matched to the event
-
Collages that combine guests and scenery
-
Venues where the only available wall is unattractive
Test it
Run a Simulation test from the Launchpad and look at a real cutout. Edge quality varies with your lighting more than with any setting, and this is the only way to see it.
Tip - Even lighting on the subject matters more than anything else. A well-lit guest cuts out cleanly; a badly-lit one looks rough whatever you do.
