The magic wand tool (or really any of the "modern" extraction tools in Photoshop) can't handle hair the way they claim to do in those examples. If this is truly done with non-manual work, it's incredibly impressive.

Did you try it? I put in an image and got back a result way too fast for someone to have done it manually.

None of those tools result in what the service has done to several photos I threw at it.

I gave it a photo of Daniel Craig with a black suit on a black background and it did a damn good job of isolating the person.

Even if those tools were right for the job (aren’t, and fireworks doesn’t exist anymore)... to pay our lowest paid art guy to do this is well above this service’s per photo cost.
