Hello 👋 I am Matthieu, the maker of BG. Before, I was in charge of image editing products at GoPro and realised that all image editing is still quite dumb but that we all need it to tell good stories. BG is a mobile photoshop that understands your pictures starting with a few simple tasks like erasing background, changing object color, replacing car plate but it will me much more in the future. Technically all machine learning is done on device with CoreML. I'd love to get feedback and answer questions from you! Thank you @nicosteeg and @madlag for your invaluable help and advice.

I've been using this app for a while, I love it. From a technical standpoint, what's interesting is that it's the first iOS app (that I know of) that's really leveraging the full power of CoreML underneath. @matthieurouif Do you have any insight you can share on the future of ML on-device?

thanks @julien_c . I have been working on CoreML for 4 years now (before at GoPro) and with the iPhone XS, we're getting to the point where you can see powerful ML inferences made on device for images. See here iPhone XS 5 times faster than iPhone X https://twitter.com/matthieuroui.... Network are small enough for apps now (CoreML and TensorFlow Light) and dedicated hardware, like the neural engine, makes inference fast enough. This is opening a lot of potential for AR like applications. My guess is that the iPhone XS will be minimum hardware to run AR for Apple Glasses. Also it really makes a difference to have inference results to be instant so I you have to upload or download a big result. On device is important for a first result. So anything with images will probably run on device at some point. It's also a lot better for privacy. I don't know for chat assistant but I bet future assistant will use a mix of voice/text and image so probably on device too. Also anything with video will run on device too

I was super happy to see some folks from the Stupeflix mafia work on a new product. And this product, BG, is super cool. Works pretty well, intuitive to use. I've been using it either for arty posts from photos, or to anonymize photos of my kids.

Hi Matthieu! Great app, congratulations on the launch! I'm really impressed by how accurate the HD cutout is, is that all custom tech using CoreML? If so, do you consider publishing a framework so other developers can implement similar features?

great for non-graphic designers and marketeers

Pros:

ease of use and the speed to do it compared to Adobe Ps

Cons:

only on iOS yet

I love how you can just tap on elements of your picture (people, cars, background…) and apply filters on these — so much more intuitive than the Photoshop lasso tool!
