When to Use Each Algorithm

For Speed

If you need fast results, use Threshold Brush or Connected Threshold.

For Precision

If you need precise boundaries, use Level Set or Geodesic Distance.

For Noisy Images

If your image has noise, use Random Walker which is robust to noise.

For General Use

Geodesic Distance is the recommended default for most use cases.
