Now, we will apply these tools on the complex shaped object. We like to test the ultimate capability of the tools. That is why, we have chosen such a complex photo of an ornament. This is time to see the result.
Look at the above photo that we have tried to drop out the background at Autoclipping.com. Here is also the tool failed to do the job. There are a lot of places where it left the background. It damaged the pixel and resolution. It fails to reach the holes of this photo. In a word, it cannot fulfill our purpose to make the image suitable for the ecommerce product showcase.

In Background Burner, we have tried to edit the same image, but this time also we have the same result. This tool cannot remove the background from the holes, curves area, etc. It has tried to maintain the shadow, but failed. There is a problem with pixel also that has hampered the quality that an e-commerce product should have.
