Instructions

Step 1: Use the tool to pick multiple color samples from the image foreground (FG) and then image background (BG).

Step 2 (optional): Use the tool to paint areas as background or foreground.

Step 3 (optional): Set scale distance and drag the scale-line handles (in Pan mode) to calibrate for real-world units.
