An alternative to background removal in Preview is selecting the donor image in the Finder, right-clicking on it, and from the Quick Actions menu choosing Remove Background. Compare that result to those of Preview.


If you overlapped that original image in Preview during the background removal process, it may have stripped the brightest whites from the original image causing the dimmer result.
