Instead of naming all masks "mask", regardless of the type, it would be very helpful if they're named by mask type.

E.g. "brush 1", "brush 2", "linear mask 1", "radial mask 1" and so on. This way it's way easier to pick the right masks when copying the settings from one photo. Most of the time I don't want to copy the brushes, but only the linear and radial masks.

Can't the corresponding mask name be inserted automatically for the masking "Motif" and "Background" ?
For all other masks I find it correct to have to assign the name myself.

Translation issue? Do you mean Select Sky and Select Subject?

Hey everyone,

Quick suggestion regarding AI auto-masking. When auto-masking elements like skies, people, or facial features, they're labelled generically (e.g., Mask 1, Mask 2). Though you can see what each mask is when you select it in the mask breakdown, having to click through them isn't ideal, especially for quick edits.

How about automatic naming of masks based on their content? Instead of "Mask 1," we could have "Sky," "Face," "Hair," etc. This would be a huge time-saver, allowing a quick glance to identify the right mask, particularly when working on numerous portraits, like school photos or large business projects.

I think this small change could make a big difference in workflow efficiency. Would love to hear your thoughts and see if we could make this happen!
