Sometimes we need to extract an element from an image to use it in a project or a new image. This process is done by using the graphic design softwares, and requires a lot of skill and consumes a lot of time. But with advanced technology, now we have new applications available that have made this process easier, so all types of users can perform it. There are many applications available for this job, of which only a few work well.
Picture Cutout Guide is a photo editing software application designed to help you remove background from the images. It can separate solid objects from an arbitrary background and transfers them to another photo, and comes with more editing tools that can be useful.
Overview
The download size is small (~5MB) and the installation process is simple and straightforward. When launched for the first time, it shows a demonstration window which contains demos on different things like Program Features, Tool size, Smart patch, Photo montage, complex background removal, and more. The interface is simple and has an intuitive layout and design, making it easier to use by all kinds of users (novices to experienced users), without facing any difficulties. The interface only contains a menu bar at the top and the toolbar on the right side, rest of the area is for image viewing.
Pros
– Demonstrations – There are quiet a few demonstrations available in this tool. They show the processes and options this tool can carry out and how to perform them. For example, it can guide you on how to remove background from an image, or how to make a photo montage.
– Supports many types of image formats, like JPG, TIF, PNG, BMP, RLE, DIB and TPI. The edited image can be stored to any of these formats too.
– Toggle between original and edited image with a click on the dedicated button. This makes the editing process easier as you can compare both the images and have a clear mind on how to progress further.
– Toolbar is sufficiently feature rich and contains most of the tools required for editing up-front. There’s an option to add text, crop images and objects, and adjust brightness, contrast, gamma and saturation levels. Moreover, you can tweak with color channels and use remove, resize, and patch. The toolbar can be easily hidden to increase the viewing area of the image.
– Menu bar contains options that you can perform to the image like zoom in and out, rotate or flip images. It also lets you undo or redo certain actions, go to next or previous picture and restore the original.
Cons
– Even with the help of demonstrations, some tasks are difficult to carry out with a good result. For example, removing background seems easy when watching demonstrations, but in fact it is very difficult to remove background without distorting other objects in the picture.
– A bit overpriced for the editing options it offers.
Conclusion
Picture Cutout Guide is a simple-to-use image editing application that supports many image formats and multiple languages. It is rich of features, and its user interface is user-friendly. With the availability of demonstrations and sufficient amount of tools, it is a tool definitely worth trying out.

This is so simple & works so well I will buy it when I change computers.
Sometimes you get a discount offer later from the developers too.
