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

Yes the option to autorecompute the masks will take this awesome new feature to the next level! Super stoked with how well this works so far!

Request: Please enable an option to update/cancel the AI elements of a mask when pasting settings. 

Issue:

When batch editing similar photos I can:

1. Select the first photo in the set
2. Apply an AI Select Subject mask
3. Duplicate/invert that mask to select the background
4. Apply my edits to each mask
5. Copy settings and include the Masking option to ensure the masks are included.
   
6.  Sync/Paste the settings across multiple photos. 

The masks are applied (with confirmation to overwrite, merge, etc). The problem I now have is that each synchronized mask is now in a state that cannot be used without further attention. Each mask must be opened, AI element must then be selected, and the option chosen to "Update" to recompute the mask. You can imaging more complicated AI masks and each requiring updating (like sky, subject, ground, graduated filter with an intersection of select sky to remove, select sky with intersection select subject to ensure the subject is knocked out of the sky, etc.) Manually updating all the mask elements manually really slows down the speed gains by Lightroom bulk editing.

Batch edits like copy/paste or Sync should be able to be used in a batch mode. Paste/Sync settings should allow (with confirmation) the option to recalculate all the AI elements in the background. When editing hundreds of photos this is a huge time saver--auto-update all the mask elements and then come back to review after the photo masks are finished updating. It would be great if this were a Lightroom task, like merging a panoramic, or computing an HDR, that could be cancelled in the UI.

The new masking methode in Lightroom Classic works great on single images. However I’m a product photographer who shoot product in 360 degrees. This means I often have to edit 36 - 72 of even 144 images of the same object at once. The Subject detection is a great option, but it would be greater if I can (force) sync this on multiple images. I now can sync all edits but have to click the ‘Subject needs to be recomputed update’ on every single image. This takes way too much time. 

Is there a workaround?

Thanks in advance. 

Folgendes Problem:

Klassische Produktbilder (Mensch mit Klamotten) mit klarem abgetrennten Hintergrund (einfarbig) kann perfekt als Motiv erkannt werden. Ich nutze die umgekehrte Variante um den Hintergrund aufzuhellen und habe eine Maske angelegt.

Wenn ich diese nun synchronisiere auf die weiteren Bilder, berechnet LR nicht automatisch das Motiv (bzw. die Umkehrung), ich muss jedes einzelne mit "Motiv 1" muss neu berechnet werden, anklicken.

Gibt es eine Umgehung, dass dies automatisch geschieht, damit ich nicht 1000 Bilder durchklicken muss?

Ich wäre über Hilfe sehr dankbar, denn das ist wirklich Zeitintensiv.

With the new Lightroom 11.0, when I copy the settings of one photo with a subject mask and then paste those settings to a new photo, the subject mask then has a button that says "Subject 1 needs to be recomputed" and then you have a button to update the subject mask. It would be super amazing if there was some way of implementing an auto update of the subject mask. As it stands, I have to reopen the subject mask to apply the update to every photo that I paste the copied settings to. When photos are someone similar but people move around, the AI is still really good when you just click the update button. It still works great. So I don't see any reason why the mask can be auto updated so we don't have to go back into the mask panel to update it.

Remember to upvote feature requests!

I completely agree.  Even if its not automatic, I would like a way to select a group of photos and tell it to recompute the masks.   Right now, there are way to many mouse clicks to update each photo.   I photograph high school seniors, and I could save so much time with this little tweak.  Otherwise, this masking thing is a game changer, seriously.

Someone HELP PLEASE! I shot a 100+ photos time lapse and did the adjustments to the mask on the first photo.  Then I tried to synchornize the changes to all other 100+ photos.  The global synchronizations worked, but now the other 99+ photos each say that the AI needs to redraw / reload a new mask.  So now I have to go into each individual synchronized photo and manually update 2 different masks (sky and ground). THIS IS PAINFUL!!! PLEASE HELP - WHAT DO I DO BESIDES WAISTING LOTS OF TIME.  At least let me bring back the old Graduated filter???
