In this tutorial I show you how to quickly and effectively REMOVE image backgrounds using a combination of free AI tools and GIMP. The result allows you to fully remove backgrounds on high definition images without needing to pay for the premium version of Clipdrop – an AI tool by Stability.ai.
Most AI background removers charge a fee for background removal on a full-sized HD image, but by using this method along with GIMP you can get the same results for FREE on a full resolution image.
Clipdrop is owned by a company called Init ML, which was acquired by Stability.ai (the artificial intelligence company that owns and runs Stable Diffusion).

Which Adobe alternatives are considered “S” tier – or the best of the best? Which are worth downloading and trying out? Which should you stay away from? In this video, I explore the most popular Adobe alternatives and rank them in a tier list on a scale of “S” to “D.”
Software covered in this video include Canva, Affinity Photo, Blender, WordPress, GIMP, Darktable, Inkscape, Drupal, Davinci Resolve, Krita, PenPot, and Scribus. These creative apps perform a wide range of functions – from Content Management Systems for web design, to graphic design, to photo editing and photo manipulation, to video editing, to UI/UX design and prototyping, to 3D animation, and to digital painting.
With this guide, you can finally figure out which creative apps are right for you in 2023 when you want to move away from Adobe. Replace Adobe Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, Adobe Experience Manager, After Effects, Premiere Pro, and more!
