so there is a new feature in the Apple photos app which will let you do exactly what magic eraser does it'll figure out
00:00:06
what's the foreground figure out what's the background and unwanted subjects and
00:00:09
allow you to erase them it's pretty clean speaking of clean they call the feature cleanup MH so you click the
00:00:14
cleanup button and then it highlights automatically the objects that it thinks you want to get rid of they'll like
00:00:20
Circle something else and remove it which cleverly would obscure part of your circle if it went behind the
00:00:26
subject just like little stuff like that works better and when David came in I was like was that on purpose or like a
00:00:31
bad edit but like no it's it's recognizing the subject and circling behind it so you're not worried about
00:00:36
like chipping off shoulder your shoulder because somebody walked right behind you
00:00:40
shot with magic eraser you had to be very careful about making sure that you didn't actually erase over something
00:00:47
else but because this is doing that semantic segmentation where it knows where the foreground and the background
00:00:52
is if it sees you circling over the background first you can still hover over the foreground and it'll only erase
00:00:58
the background
