Remove a flat background color
Knock out one solid color, such as a white page behind a logo or a scanned signature.
This is a color key, not a subject cutout. Hair, glass, and busy photos will look wrong.
Use this for a logo or a scan that sits on one flat color, usually white. The page turns that color transparent. It is a color key, not a cutout of a person. Hair, glass, shadows, and a busy photo will leave holes or leftover color. Start with a low tolerance and raise it only until the paper disappears.
