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

Love the auto subject detection in the new lightroom classic update.

 

Idea: add an auto recompute feature to the subject masking when working with multiple images.

 

Observation: I'm a wedding photographer. When working with multiple images and auto sync is turned on, all of my edits to one image are synced across all selected images. When working with the auto mask subject selection, LRC basically creates a mask "preset" for the visible image but won't apply that "preset" to all other images until you manually select the  "recompute subject" button on the mask pannel. 

 

Why not have LRC do this automatically across all selected images? Seems like a nice improvement.

Ravi que notre voix est été entendue et des nouvelles fonctions mais chez moi Lightroom, la sortie des fichiers finaux est devenu extrêmement lent après cette mise à jour. Suis-je le seul? 

J'ai purgé tout mais cela ne change rien.

(je suis sur Mac, puce M1, qui était super rapide comparé à mon core I9 avant la mise à jour).

Thank you Adobe and community for this incredible addition! QUESTION: Can this automation be added to the SDK easily enough? Our plugin utilizes some masking tools and we were hoping this addition of auto computation would seamlessly flow into the SDK but it appears it is not yet accessible. Thanks for your help!

Hey Rikk Flohr,

 

Thank you so much for considering the Auto Compute feature for multiple image selection and providing it in the latest LR version. It works seamlessly and we are thrilled with the new feature. We would like to know how such features are going to work with LR SDK? Do you have any idea when we can expect LR SDK to include this Auto compute feature for Masking with the Copy/Paste setting?

 

Thank you,
