   I Use Storyboard That Every Day

   As a former classroom teacher of French and Spanish, English Language Arts, and Social Studies, my business now is creating resources for language teachers to tell stories and teach about culture, geography, history, and other content...in a language that may be quite new to the students. So, with that kind of work, you can bet I am always on the lookout for the best tools to visually scaffold the information so it is easier to understand through pictures, icons, and other design elements. I use Storyboard That almost every single day in my work on these materials. Since the resources are for (mostly) children and teens, I prefer a comic or cartoon-y style. Storyboard That is my go-to "character generator." I use it to make and pose characters into scenes and then I combine these groups of characters with Canva, to create PNGs that I then make into presentations for giving mini-lessons in class, texts for kids to read in class, etc. For me, Canva AND Storyboard That together are the perfect solution, and the price is right, for my purposes, as Pixton (which integrates directly with Canva) charges about $500 a year for the rights to replicate your work using their library for commercial purposes, whereas Storyboard That is only $12 or so a month, which includes that permission level for your original compositions. Pixton without that level of permission is about $40 a month, so you would need to think about what the integration of the two would be worth for you in terms of efficiency or the available images and effects in Pixton. For $144 a year, Storyboard That is an excellent option for me. And for free, you can create three active storyboards at a time, so you could potentially use it and never pay a dime.

   🏁 Competitors: Pixton

   👍 Pros:    Allows commercial use of your designs using their elements|Has a free option that allows you to make three active storyboards|Affordable price|Good range of racially-diverse characters

   👎 Cons:    Interface needs improvement|The dragging and clicking is often cumbersome for me.|No canva integration (pixton integrates with canva directly but costs substantially more)

• My wife and me didn't have a chance for a nice wedding photo. Could you please put a nice background to this photo of us? Thanks!

  There's an excellent app and website called PhotoRoom that you can play around with to add your own background. I'm thinking that there may be a special place that the two of you like to go, and could insert that into the background. Source: over 1 year ago

• Code noob, helping a dev look for an image background remover

  We need a background remover similar to photoroom.com in quality. Our dev was able to make a rudimentary version but it picks up background details and doesnt finely mask around hair and fine details like photoroom does. I expect there's something floating around github. Just haven't found it. Source: over 1 year ago

• Up for a week - am I doing something wrong?

  And use Photoroom to remove background. EBay algorithm prefers white background. First 250 photos are free. Worth the paid version, you can upload a batch and it wipes out the background 10x cleaner than ebay’s tool. Photoroom ✨ PhotoRoom - Remove background in 3 seconds. Source: over 1 year ago

• How to start conversations with users

  Matthieu Rouif, cofounder of Photoroom got feedback on his mobile app by paying for people's McDonalds. He and cofounder Eliot visited restaurants in Paris and asked queueing patrons to use the app for a few minutes. In return Matthieu and Eliot paid for the participant's meal. Then the guys went home, fixed the issues, and repeated the tests the next day. Source: over 2 years ago
