  title: Adobe Photoshop Remove Background
  summary: Submit a Sensei background-removal job, poll until it finishes, and return the cutout output URL.
  description: >-
    Removes the background from an image using the Adobe Photoshop API and Adobe
    Sensei AI. The workflow submits a cutout job referencing an input image and
    an output location in cloud storage, polls the job status endpoint until the
    job reaches a terminal state, and branches on the result to return either
    the cutout rendition URL or the error details. Every step spells out its
    request inline so the flow can be read and executed without opening the
    underlying OpenAPI description.
