On: Why Enterprise Software Sucks

[Kaiyou]

Personally, I yearn for a command line image editor. ImageMagick is nice, but it can't do everything. Once you've gone cli, it's hard to go back to gui applications, since they're so inefficient.

You can only say this if you have a very limited imagination of what "image editor" is.

Please explain to me how you imagine creating a mask around a human so that you can "extract" him from the background in the command line.

I don't really know what "mask" and "extract" mean in this context. If you mean arbitrary selection of shapes then I have a couple of ideas how it can be accomplished. For mouse use I know the theory of arbitrary shape selection, but I never can get it quite right, since moving the mouse around the shape is very difficult for me.
