Before you save
Fine hair, transparent objects and overlapping subjects can produce imperfect edges. This effect keeps the background and does not create a transparent sticker or vector cut path.
Questions and answers
Does this turn the photo into line art?
No. The subject remains a full-color photograph. Only an outer stroke is added around its silhouette.
Can I remove the background too?
This effect preserves it. For a cutout, use the separate background-removal tool and review that result independently.
