When I want to soften a bokeh, I can create mask by clicking the "Select Subject" button, invert it and decrease Sharpeness.

But the problem occurs at the edges of subject, the edges of subject are blurred too. The only way is to create another brush mask, paint around the subject and subtract it from original mask.

1. It would be nice if there was a feather control in "Select Subject" that would extend the mask.

2. It would be great if there were an option to automatically recalculate AI mask after synchronization or if mask was copied to a new photo or when applying preset with AI mask.

With this features softening the bokeh could be saved as a preset and it would be very easy to apply it.

Using an inverted "Select subject" mask and sharpness adjustment can create great depth focus. Unfortunately the edging of a subject are caught up in the subject mask and a fully edge.

Please add the ability to expand a subject mask by a set number of pixels to prevent this phenomenon.

I think this would be really useful. Especially in luminance masks it could prevent detail loss because of tone compression, which otherwise happens now and then and looks really ugly.
