P: Auto Mask brush not auto-masking

Since the latest update (12.2) Auto Mask while using brush seems to not auto mask.
I've been trying to mess around with GPU acceleration and without. Same issue regardless.
I've heard about this problem from another user aswell.

I've moved on to use other masking methods in my work since the automask brush broke. Especially the new object masking tool. It's very helpful.

Just noticed it will not work at all with HDR files made in LR (dng). I've attatched both the canon RAW file and the DNG file plus a video in this dropbox link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/nnp17zta3vuaddr/AABDn3dwsYAeejz9eH1xcBHwa?dl=0

I noticed that the RAW file had some auto-mask capabilities, but it seems to bleed over to similar parts that are separated by a hard edge. You'll see in the video.

Any chance you can record us a quick video showing the area you are painting and supply the original raw file as well?

Yep, still there. Does not mask at all.

@Daniel2709176891zy I don't know if it will help but Lightroom Desktop also appears unaffected.

Awesome!

I'm part of a business in Sweden with about 170 photographers doing real-esate gigs. Pretty much all of us (or our editors) rely on this feature every day. A hasty fix would be much appreciated.

Moving to camera raw while waiting for a fix is not a practical solution as the whole point with auto masking, at least to me, ok s about speed and greater volumes of raw files.

Hopefully this is is fixed sooner than later 👍.

Agree! Worked better before.
