Transparency Generation via Difference Matting

Generate AI images with high-quality alpha channels (transparency) using the difference matting technique. This method captures semi-transparent elements (hair, glass, smoke) that simple background removal cannot.

When to Use

• Product photography with transparent backgrounds
• Logo/icon generation requiring clean edges
• Character art with fine details (hair, fur)
• Overlay graphics for compositing
• Any case requiring true alpha channel with partial transparency

When NOT to Use

• Objects that are pure black or pure white (fundamental limitation)
• Quick iterations where transparency isn't critical
• When native transparency tools are available (SD + Layer Diffusion)
