Warning
titleMac Only

To use Background Removal Pro, please re-install the latest version, if you've already installed an earlier version of the filter.  This version updates the Background Removal Pro filter.

  • Updated new filter parameters.  General-Standard is now what used to be General-Precise and we added a new General-Precise filter that takes longer to process but is more efficient in removing the backgrounds. General-Fast is what used to be General-Standard and we dropped the old General-Fast, since we want to stay with at most 3 models to minimize overcrowding.
  • Added support for iOS application.  Once released, this version with support a Visere Captura mobile phone app on Apple devices, rather than having to use the old Shutter Stream mobile app.
  • Updated the Sony plugin to use the latest SDK: CrSDK V 1.12.  See:
    https://support.d-imaging.sony.co.jp/app/sdk/en/index.html
  • Updated support for the latest Nikon SDK and support for Nikon Z8 for both Mac and Windows.  Nikon SDK Date: 2024-05-15.
  • Multi-Camera artifact: On Windows the software tries to use multiple cameras from different manufacturers.  On Mac this is not possible, due to SDK conflicts on certain camera manufacturers.  On Mac users should be able to use multiple cameras made by the same manufacturer.
