Could Adobe Lightroom Classic incorporate a feature that automates window masking in real estate photo editing, facilitating 'window pulls' without the need for manual brushing?

 

Love the products!

Hello dear team

as a photographer for real estate photography, I photograph the premises in different light intensities. I always have to manually mark the window or windows afterwards, as in some tutorials on YouTube, so that I can adjust them manually even better.

Isn't there a way to add one for windows, as with sky detection or background detection?

 

With your automatic tools such as the object recognizer, it often marks the wall or the middle struts of the window.

 

It would make the work much easier.

 

Best regards

I's relatively easy to make a named standard mask (with more than one subselection) and then apply this with preset. Such as, an auto luminance based selection that concentrates only on the brightest tones. And separately, intersected with this, a brush mask 'layer' initially empty. You could include standard darkening adjustment as a starting point.

 

What I have in mind is: apply the preset adding mask(s) to your photo. Then activate the brush 'layer' and looely paint your window area with a big brush. The darker surround of an over-bright window would automatically be excluded from selection anyway, by the luminance "layer" so your painting of the window would not need to be carefully done. Overall, I expect the amount of work would be little different - once all steps are considered.
