How to use Extract Object by Color from Image
- 1. Drop in an image. Add the photo containing the object you want isolated, in any common format. It works best when the object's color contrasts clearly with its surroundings.
- 2. Pick the Color to keep and set Tolerance. Choose the color of the object with the color picker, then adjust Tolerance to control how far a pixel's color can drift from that value and still count as a match.
- 3. Download the isolated object. Click generate and download the result. Matching pixels stay visible while everything else becomes transparent, leaving just the colored object on a clear background.
When to use Extract Object by Color from Image
Extract Object by Color from Image keeps only the pixels near a chosen color and makes everything else transparent. It works well when the subject you want has a distinct, fairly uniform color that stands apart from the rest of the photo.
- Pulling a logo off a colored background. A brand logo is a single solid color on a plain backdrop, and setting that color as the target extracts just the logo shape with the background removed entirely.
- Isolating a colored marker in a diagram. A photographed whiteboard has one important element marked in red pen among black text, and extracting just the red pixels highlights that element on its own.
- Separating a green-screen subject. You shot footage against a green backdrop without proper chroma-key software available, and targeting the green tone with a generous tolerance strips it out of a still frame.
Examples
Isolate a red object
Input
photo.png + color #ff0000
Output
photo.png keeping only reddish pixels, rest transparent
