Hi, not sure if this feature has been asked for yet, but I am a real estate photographer and also photo editor. First off, I just wanted to say, I really like the sky replacement tool, it saved my b** multiple times on rainy and cloudy days.

I was wondering if you can create a similar type of AI enabled tool, but this tool looks for interior windows and automatically masks the inside area of all window frames. Please see the screenshot below for an idea.

I use the polygonal lasso, even the pen tool would take way too long. I
believe an AI tool could easily cut out all the windows very very fast. As
a real estate photographer we have to cut out tons of tiny windows and we
deliver *20-30 photos at a time*, lots of them with windows and delivery is
next day. Most of the time I use a flash window method and play with layer
effects which works very well, but sometimes has bad results because it
causes lots of reflections and glare. What I'm thinking to make this work
is my real estate work is shot in brackets, so I think as long as you
choose the darker exposure for the ai tool to work on, the windows will
easily be cut out and stand out the most!

There's nothing better than a Pen tool for straight lines and smooth edges!

I almost never use any auto selections, at least for cutting smth out.

 

Even if they make such a feature, you'll spend more time adjusting the edges than for manual selection.
