Background-Clearing Photo Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Scalado Remove Clears Unwanted Objects

— March 5, 2012 — Tech
Everyone who has traveled knows how difficult it is to get a great photograph at any tourist spot without other tourists literally walking into your photo. Scalado, a Swedish imaging technolgies company, recognized this need and has come up with a smartphone app called Scalado Remove, providing a solution to the problem.

Scalado Remove basically takes multiple shots during each click, then the app compares the shots and figures out the moving objects in the photo and automatically removes them. Scalado Remove even allows you to make your own deletes, so you can remove strangers while keeping your family and friends in the frame.

The Scalado Remove app is being showcased in the Mobile World Conference in Barcelona this year to the delight of globetrotters everywhere.
