Refine Mask (Interactive)

Wraps quick-rmbg --infinite-hop to let the user run background removal iteratively on the same image. Each run can use different settings (e.g., model, threshold) to dial in the perfect cutout.

When to use

• Single or two-pass output is close but not perfect; user wants to tweak and re-run without leaving the workflow
• User wants to experiment with different models or config on a single image
• The upstream CLI's interactive loop is the right tool

Inputs to gather

• Image path — source image (or previous -nobg.png) to refine
• (Optional) Max iterations to suggest or warn after

Procedure

1. Verify quick-rmbg is on PATH.
2. Resolve input path to absolute and verify it exists.
3. Explain: quick-rmbg --infinite-hop will run removal, save output, ask if user wants another pass. Type y to refine, n to exit.
4. Invoke: quick-rmbg --infinite-hop "$path" and let the user interact (they control the loop).
5. After exit, report the final output path and iteration count (if the CLI prints it).

Output / side effects

• Creates or overwrites <input>-nobg.png with the user's final choice.
• User drives the iteration loop via prompts.

Safety / constraints

• This is an interactive CLI; user must stay engaged to answer prompts.
• Each iteration does a full GPU pass; many iterations can drain GPU memory.
