#### Chroma key, border flood-fill alpha extractor, mask brush & batch cutout

Alpha Matte Remover is a local Linux desktop tool for extracting clean RGBA
transparent cutouts from studio photos, logos, and chroma backdrops without
uploading files to external servers.
An independent Linux desktop alternative to online background removal tools
for building alpha mattes, refining masks, and batch exporting transparent assets.

Key Features:

* Chroma & Edge-Flood Alpha Extractor: Eyedropper and 4-corner auto-sampled
  background detection with Contiguous Border Flood-Fill (preserving matching
  interior highlights) and Global Euclidean RGB / HSV Color Distance Ramp,
  soft Gaussian alpha edge feathering, color-spill desaturation, and auto-trim
  to the non-transparent bounding box.
* Interactive Mask Touch-Up & Backdrop Preview: Checkerboard, solid color,
  and custom backdrop image preview with interactive Keep-Foreground and
  Erase-Background brush strokes painted onto an auxiliary mask layer.
* Batch Transparent Cutout Exporter: Processes product and logo folders into
  32-bit RGBA PNG and lossless or lossy alpha WebP outputs with per-image
  transparency coverage CSV statistics.
