I share the concerns others have mentioned about the updated Remove Background tool. The changes have significantly worsened the editing experience, and users should at least have the option to return to the previous version.
The new AI tool does not remove backgrounds effectively. Rather than cleanly erasing them, it often distorts the image or leaves unwanted sections behind, which are difficult to correct manually. It is especially frustrating that once parts of the image are removed, there is no way to restore them. What was once a reliable and efficient feature has now become inconsistent and frustrating to use.
Huge thanks to PatrickHayden for the workaround though!! 🏆
