Can I reverse deleting a white background?

Luminar Neo has an Undo feature that lets you easily reverse your changes.

What are the limitations of removing a white background from an image?

If you want to remove a white background from PNG, keep in mind that it has some limitations and challenges. For example, if the subject is intricate or contains fine details like hair or fur, achieving a precise selection can be more challenging. If the subject was originally photographed with specific lighting and shadows that interacted with the white background, removing the background may disrupt the integrity of the lighting and shadowing, making the subject look out of place in a new background.

Does the photo get smaller or look different when we remove the white background?

When you erase a white background, it doesn't inherently change the size or appearance of the image, but subsequent actions you take, such as resizing, altering the aspect ratio, or applying edits, can lead to changes in how the image looks and behaves.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cloning tool in photo editing?

In photo editing, a photo clone tool is a feature or tool that allows you to duplicate or clone a specific area of an image and then apply that clone to another part of the same image or a different image. It’s used to remove imperfections, unwanted objects, or blemishes from photos, as well as for various retouching and creative purposes. Sometimes it’s called the clone stamp tool.

What is the difference between the healing brush tool and the spot healing brush tool?

The Healing Brush Tool and the Spot Healing Brush Tool are both useful features in photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop, for retouching and fixing imperfections in images. However, they have different functionalities and are used for slightly different purposes. The Spot Healing Tool is best for quick, automatic retouching of small imperfections, while the Healing Brush Tool is ideal for situations where you need more control over the sampling process and want to maintain the texture and appearance of the surrounding area. The choice between these tools depends on the specific retouching task and the level of control and precision you require.

How to reset the Clone tool?

Depending on the picture editor clone tool you use, the reset settings might differ. If you are using the Clone tool in Luminar Neo and accidentally select an area you no longer want, you do not need to start over. Instead, you can undo one stroke at a time. While in the Clone tool, simply choose Edit > Undo or press Cmd+Z (macOS) or Ctrl+Z (Windows) to undo the last brush stroke.

The Clone tool is not working, what should I do?

When you do a clone picture edit and notice that something is not working, try resetting your changes and starting again. You might also contact Skylum support for help!
