BG App on iPhone

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 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.

Awesome app when you need to quickly edit a photo in a "smart" way :)

Pros:

Incredibly easy to use. The engine is smart enough to properly remove elements in photos like no other app.

Cons:

iOS only unfortunately for Android folks

this app will be a must-have tool on mobile. I won't need photoshop anymore.

Pros:

instant. smart. easy.

Cons:

make it work on videos :)

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!

Cool to see it here, especially when I started working on a similar product yesterday :)
