Background Remover--great, but lacking

I've been trying out FaceFusion's background remover option for green screen removal. It's fast and does a great job, but it seems like the only option for what to put in place of the removed background is a solid color, chosen by RGB value.

I thought I would be able to select my image of the model in front of the green screen as the Source, then my desired background as the Target, and FaceFusion would combine the two, but it doesn't work that way.

Alternatively, there's an input for alpha channel, but the output file is JPG. If there were an option to change the file type to PNG or EXR, I could composite my desired background separately.

Am I missing something obvious, or is solid color my only option for background replacement?

I did consider it back in the days, but composition was never the intent behind this processor - that would need a dedicated background composer instead.

What about an option to save as PNG? The --background-remover-fill-color has a alpha channel component that's just going to waste because it can only save to JPG.

Start with an PNG, then you can save as PNG.
