P:(Masking) Add auto update recompute to subject /sky masking after copy/paste

I use the new AI Masking features in 90% of my images. My most common use is to lighten the subject and darken the backgriund just a bit. Once the AI Masking can be auto computed , AI masking needs to be added to preset,  so that the masks don't have to be made from scratch over and over again.

Hey there!

Yes, this is missing and would be nice to have if you are editing lots and lots of portraits or product shots. In the meantime you could do it with AutoHotkey but it takes some time if you go through 10+ pictures.

Please add a "recompute all" button with a status bar and a warning that this could take some time...

@AmandaLH, I replied to your post in the other thread:

https://community.adobe.com/t5/lightroom-classic-discussions/p-smart-preview-workflow-amp-ai-masks-when-reconnecting-to-originals-affects-catalog-sharing-also/m-p/12560250#M255024

I'm running into a related problem. I edit for other photographers by sharing smart previews and catalogs. When they send a pre-edited "anchor" image, the subject masks appear on my end with no errors. I can match other images in the catalog to those anchors and calculate the subject for each, no problem. However, when I close the catalog and send it back to my client, none of the subject masks are applying. They're all showing errors and the subject is having to be re-calculated manually on each individual image. We can't seem to find a way around this.

If I as wedding photographer truly need to sync a 100 images, then I would understand the time it takes - after all, I can see it takes time based on just one image alone. Also, even if it takes an hour, (or finding all people on all images 10 hours overnight), it would still be so much more efficient than clicking...waiting...clicking...waiting - a hundred times! The feature is amazing, can't wait to have a the sync on top of it, I really see it as a must! A warning about time would be fine, that's just one extra click compared to what we have right now.

The new masking is really great but the sync / recompute / update feature for selected images would just be amazing. With an alert "do you really want...." and a cancel option should be fine I guess.

"I would like to know how I can copy/sync masks (sky/subject)."

Currently, you have to Copy/Sync the masks to the target photos. Then for each target photo, you have to click on the Sky/Subject component and click Update.  

See the answer at the top of this thread from Adobe employee Rikk Flohr about the state of the feature request to automate this, so you don't have to click Update for each target photo.

I would like to know how I can copy/sync masks (sky/subject).

Itried copy-paste, sync in modle Librarly and also in Development and it didn't work.
It asked me to recompute the masks of Sky and Sky-invert in all of the 1000 pictures in my tumelaps project (sky are in the same position all of the ime).

I'm creating timelaps video, by combining hundreds of photos from the exact same place using tripod.
It may be surprise, but the sky in the pictures are at the exact same place in all pictures.
same for the ground.
Why I cannot copy all setting from picture with masks automatically to the rest?
Why masks need to be recomputed? the sky are at the same place!!
Why it can't be converted to "stupid" mask and copied to other pictures in 0 time?

I would like to see tick marks next to AI mask layer to show its done.

allow use to use brush to fix AI mask issue like over spill or underspill.

when I want to copy the AI mask and there is multiple masks I want to choose which one need to be recalculated during the copy effcts stage. I suggest having a tick next to the mask for auto computer on for each mask. 

grouping AI masks.
