Microsoft Interactive Image Cutout technology makes it easy to remove people and objects from a photo, and then place them into another photo. The technology intelligently discerns the edges, color similarities, and grading information of the image for quick and easy editing. This technology offers value-added enhancement for a digital imaging company seeking to provide competitive differentiation to an image processing product or service.

Apparently Microsoft developed this to license to other companies. I wonder if anyone ever purchased the license or if it really works?

Really basic video presentation of the above.

They could not make it free for Windows users, could they?

How about Beta testing and have it for free download. All they would have to do is put a note here and MSC would have many many testers. 

It would either be a ringing endorsement for the software or a knife in the heart!
