Use casesTest a background remover with the right sample images
A background remover is only as good as the hardest image you test it on. This guide covers which sample images from Novus Examples genuinely stress a cutout — solid versus busy backgrounds, hair and edge detail, transparency and grayscale — and how to run them through the NSS Background Remover.

Use casesSample file types explained: what each sample is for
A reference for the sample variants in Novus Examples that are easy to misread: transparent versus opaque, grayscale versus color, CMYK versus sRGB, tiny versus oversized images, and the deliberate zero-byte, corrupt, and wrong-extension files built for error-handling tests.
