What is Mask Background ?

The Mask Background refers to two types of masking options available: Blur and Fill.

Blur: The item image will be captured clearly, while the area outside the bounding box will be blurred. You can also set a margin offset to adjust the blurred area.
Fill: The area outside the item image will be filled with a solid color of your choice, helping to isolate the item visually.
