featuresDoes Linearity use my work for AI training?https://www.linearity.io/features/ai-backgrounds/
featuresWe do not use any of your files for AI training unless you explicitly opt-in within the application. The only way to opt-in is by using the Auto Trace, Background Removal, or AI Backgrounds feature and then interacting with the feedback modal displayed afterwards. If you haven't seen this alert and haven't interacted with it, you can be confident that we are not using your files for training.https://www.linearity.io/features/ai-backgrounds/

featuresWhen you import a photo and select it, AI Grab quickly lifts the subject from the background and places it as a new, editable layer in the layers panel.

featuresBoth AI Grab and Background Removal in Linearity Curve are designed for creating photo cutouts, but they work in slightly different ways. Background Removal cuts out the background, leaving only the foreground subject in the document. In contrast, AI Grab isolates the subject without removing the background, allowing you to drag to reposition the selection while keeping the background intact.https://www.linearity.io/features/ai-grab/
