Tool guide

Select an irregular region with a polygon

Use Polygon in the documented Repaint editor to control a photo cleanup.

Before you start

A source photograph and a clear idea of what you want to remove.

1. Prepare the photograph

Open the Repaint application and load the image. Keep the original and identify any details that must remain unchanged.

2. Use Polygon

Place points around the target’s outline and complete the selection using the editor’s polygon interaction. Follow the shape rather than including a large empty area.

3. Process and inspect

Apply the cleanup where relevant, inspect it at full-image and close-up views, then export a new copy.

Check the result

Review corners and narrow gaps. If the mask clips the object, some of it can remain in the result.

What to know

Open your project in Repaint to apply these steps to your own image. Refine the selection, compare the changed region with the source and review the export. The homepage comparison uses a prepared sample.
