On this page we rated the 6 reviewed selection plug-ins on several criteria.

While some of them are pure technicalities the most important would be the results of the selection. We compared two kinds of images here that we encounter most often - the simple ones, with clear outlines and decent contrast of the image and the background, and also more complex images with hair or transparencies.

You can see the examples below. The speed with which the selection is made is also taken into account, of course.
