P: Subject Detection Radial Filter

It would be amazing if Lightroom had a feature that could use subject Detection to apply a radial filter. 

 

Users could select subject Detection, apply the radial settings, and then sync settings across all images. 

 

For portrait or wedding photographers this would have the potential to be game changing and doesn't seem like it would be that hard to implement seeing that Photoshop already has subject Detection technology.

    That is not possible.

    I think what OP was looking for here, and myself, would be a way to automatically detect the subject, and add a radial filter around them. Is that possible?

    It is two-stage. 

    You can select subject and then Add to, Subtract From or Intersect with a Radial Filter. 


    In the feature request you weren't specific - do you want to make a radial around a subject or a gradation within a subject?

    With all the amazing AI features, the last thing that I would love to see would be a subject or people aware AI Radial Filter. 

     

    Basically you could input your parameter settings (feather, size, sliders, etc) and it would automatically place the radial filter around your subjects. 

     

    This would allow us to better dodge/burn a scene by graduating the viewers eye toward our subjects.

    Rikk, how does this work? I don't think you can use a radial filter with subject detection.
