When I want to soften a bokeh, I can create mask by clicking the "Select Subject" button, invert it and decrease Sharpeness.

But the problem occurs at the edges of subject, the edges of subject are blurred too. The only way is to create another brush mask, paint around the subject and subtract it from original mask.

1. It would be nice if there was a feather control in "Select Subject" that would extend the mask.

2. It would be great if there were an option to automatically recalculate AI mask after synchronization or if mask was copied to a new photo or when applying preset with AI mask.

With this features softening the bokeh could be saved as a preset and it would be very easy to apply it.

The option to feather exisitng or generated masks using a slider + value option. This should also apply to remove tools and ai selections. This can help smooth out rough transitions often seen in auto masking.

Correct. I did have that kind of issue.

I just want to add that the "point color" tool could also benefit from a "content insensitive" feather option. The tool is basically creating a color/luminance based mask, so you can run into the same issues when shifting colors/luminance.
