A new built-in add-on, Image Tools (Object › Plug-ins › Image Tools), adds Remove Background… (`addon.image.removeBackground`). It makes the background of the selected images transparent by lowering the alpha of their own pixels, in one undo step, with no service or model. The background is the most common color along the image's edges, the average of the image's corners, or colors the user picks. Contiguous (on by default) clears it only where it reaches in from an edge; off, it is cleared wherever it is. Tolerance and Softness (0 to 100, 10 by default) set how near a color must be to be cleared and the band over which pixels fade out. Match measures that nearness as the RGB distance or as the largest difference on one channel. It is a VectorCraft addition. - The image stays an image: an embedded PNG with alpha, the source's ICC profile and resolution, and 16 bits or gray when the source is. A linked image is embedded and keeps its Placement Options. - When the edges hold at least as many clear pixels as pixels of their most common color, edge mode clears nothing, so a second run leaves the subject alone. Corner mode leaves clear corners out of the average and clears nothing when all four are clear. - With Match set to Each Channel, a tolerance of t / 255 × 100 clears the colors within t 8-bit steps on every channel. - A CMYK image, a linked image that shows its preview, an image that would need more than the decode allowance (checked from its header) and a result with no pixel left are refused, and the document stays as it was. When no pixel changes, no undo step is added. The result reports `cleared`, the pixels made fully clear. - Picked colors are hex colors, with or without `#`, or black, white, red, green or blue. - The dialog opens with Preview off; with Preview on, the canvas shows the result, and Cancel puts the image back. While the dialog previews, the session keeps the images' decoded pixels (at most 128 MiB, 32 MiB in the web app) so each preview step does not decode them again, and releases them when the dialog closes with OK or Cancel. A run that is not a preview step keeps nothing. Docs: docs/mcp.md (Image Tools add-on), docs/target-app-parity.md.
