Thank you for your review. I'm thinking about including a zoom insert while painting to allow for finer handling.
Erasing a background is useful. But extracting cutouts from images is even more useful.
Could you use your algorithm to parse an image into layers?
Just downloaded on my Android - tried to load your example and getting an error message @r_follador
@krishnade Thanks for giving it a try! There were some problems regarding the permission of third-party gallery apps. Should be fixed now, can you update?
@krishnade Awesome, good to hear! Let me know what you think about the app; points of improvement etc.
@r_follador From my initial tests it was really fast and intuitive - I need to check out your tutorial. One thing I could not work out is where I see 'open recent projects' will it hold past edits on the phone in the app as I could not see how to delete?
@krishnade It will only hold the last edit, in case you close it. There's no way yet to save multiple edits.
Some more details for the technical minded people:
The used algorithm is based on PatchMatch, one of the best known in-painting-algorithms (a variant of it is also used in Photoshop). I implemented the algorithm in Renderscript, which gives a massive speed boost over plain Java. Contact me if you have any questions.
Tried this app with a photo and it didn't work at all, it left a mess where the object was. Tried a free alternative on the same photo and it worked to perfection. Uninstalled this one immediately.
Pros:None really.
Cons:Didn't work.
Very nice, great job Dev!
Pros:Simple to use
Cons:Finer tool would be nice
