Hello.

Sometimes text segmentation is not enough to get an accurate results from your model. We want to add ability for the user to use a brush on top of it (same as guide “edit cutout” option on photoroom).

Would you be able to add such support for editing strokes ?

Daily we need ~150 requests to text guided segmentation, plus a few for each request to edit the cutout if needed

Hi @daveswift ,

Happy to take this back to my product team for future consideration. Could you share examples of the types of images you are looking for segmentation on and perhaps share more details as to why the text guided segmentation isn’t achieving those results? (Ideally if you have examples of the failed images that would be great).

Appreciate you sharing the context.

Speak soon,

Allie
