ABOUT INPIXIO
Based in Paris with additional development resources worlwide, InPixio is a brand of Softcity and the Avanquest Group. InPixio is positioned on the key segment of photography and “Mobile to Print”. Their drive is reflected by a direct presence in all market channels: Apple App Store, Apple Mac App Store, Google Play, Windows Stores etc. Also, by forging close relationships with a network of prestigious partners (Intel, Microsoft, Samsung etc.), InPixio has met the expectations of a public that is ever more attracted to downloaded software and mobile applications. Their latest creation is Inpixio Photo Studio 10 Pro Mac.
INSTALLATION & SETUP
Just Drag & Drop the application to your applications folder and you’re done really. InPixio Photo Studio 10 Pro Mac consists of three individual applications: Photo Cutter, Photo Eraser and Photo Editor. There is NO ‘ check for updates’ button available, nor is a ‘preferences’ !. Its just performing checks on the background for valid serials used. Starting any of the three applications can be done from the combined applications interface (picture below), or by using the seperate applications itself. Inpixio is build for easy use and top results. This new version has a Photo Editor included to provide an overall experience for completion.
INTERFACE INPIXIO PHOTO CUTTER
- First of the applications ( Photo Cutter, Photo Eraser and Photo Editor), Photo Cutter is a handy and easy to use application. Its interface is simple and preferences options are not available nor are extended export functions. The interface is a three stage editing section: Crop , Cut-Out and Photomontage. Inpixio makes editing so easy and fun really! Removing /keeping areas is piece of cake for anybody.
Load your picture/image
Choose Crop now or at later stage
Set brush size for Remove and Keep
Set quality ( where I feel the Faster method works best ?)
Select area
Wait for computer editing
Check result ( adjust Edge blur to your liking )

The final result of any photo-cutting / background removal, really depends on the pictures composition. Want to remove background from any image with a little difference in contrast between object and background results in a diffycult operation which will not give you pleasing results. Its obvious the software’s algorithm needs to calculate the smallest
- Now the fun part of InPixio Photo Cutter
Photomontage section provides some starting images to work with, but you can add any image to this section by using the + sign. Below I just show you some steps and a final composition just for show.
It’s all about showing you the easy steps in creating your composition.
How does it work ? To be fair we don’t know which technique Inpixio uses for her software.
Semantic segmentation is a well known computer vision task, one of the top three, along with classification and object detection. The segmentation is actually a classification task, in the sense of classifying every pixel to a class. Unlike image classification or detection, segmentation model really shows some “understanding” of the images, in not only saying “there is a car in this image”, but pointing where and what is the car, on a pixel level.
So how does the segmentation work? To better understand, we will have to examine some of the early works in this field.
The earliest idea was to adopt some of the early classification networks such as VGG and Alexnet. VGG was the state of the art model back in 2014 for image classification, and is very useful nowadays because of it’s simple and straightforward architecture. When examining VGG early layers, it may be noticed that there are high activation around the item to classify. Deeper layers have even stronger activation, however they are coarse in their nature since the repetitive pooling action. With these understandings in mind, it was hypothesized that classification training can also be used with some tweaks to finding/segmenting the object.

EXPORT OPTIONS
When I earlier mentioned limited export options, I really mean limited! There is no other format available as JPEG, which is a shame really. All we get is a simple Save and option for Folder location, which is unsatisfying and a missed chance for a nice product like Photo Cutter. Export options should provide uploads to ‘social media’ and different of saving formats (png, tiff etc).

i agree to Brian, it’s easy to use at a fair price. Well done, guys!
Hello, i bought the software and it is really simple to use. Great work guys!
