P: Select All People missing feature segments

[defaultr1e0yc9dhcid]

I LOVE the new AI Masks but with the latest update, I was SO disappointed to find that I could no longer select different features like TEETH, SKIN and EYES if I choose ALL PEOPLE.  I can get those options only if I choose INDIVIDUAL people.  While this option accomplishes the same thing as I can add multiple recognized humans, the HUGE bummer is that I can't copy and paste ALL PEOPLE masks and have the AI create custom masks for different photos as the arrangements and people change.  I basically could program it to apply custom filters to any faces recognized in the photos.  Now it will only apply it to the people it recognized in the one photo example I'm using as a source to PASTE from.  This feature has lost all value for productivity.  Am I missing something!!!!?? HELP!

The absence of the facial features, etc is a known issue. LrC engineering are working to address the issue in a future update.

Your post was merged into the wrong bug report thread.  Your Mac doesn't meet the LR 12 system requirements for People masking, which requires at least 2 GB of video ram:

You can verify your graphics hardware by clicking the Apple icon, select About This Mac, click System Report, then Hardware > Graphics/Displays.

I'm not a Mac hardware expert, but a google search suggests you can't upgrade the graphics processor on a Mac Mini:

Double-check with Apple.

Adobe could easily let you continue using People masking by providing an option that lets you disable the use of the GPU for AI masking, just as you can disable it for other features of LR:

But Adobe stubbornly refuses to do this, so your only options are to buy a new computer or an EGPU that will probably cost more than the resale value of your Mac Mini.

I hope they have a fix for this soon.  It's been nearly two months now since the last LR update and it's been a little disheartening that Adobe has been patching updates for their other apps but is still sitting on this one.  That mask feature was highly useful, especially when you're doing batch edits.  Selecting the "entire person" is pretty much useless, and having to individually select each person makes batch editing woefully problematic and inconsistent.  Please figure this out, Adobe!

LR releases every 8 weeks on average. LR 12.1 was released 12/13/2022, so we might expect to see LR 12.2 in a week or two.

Let's hope so!

Thank you.. You are a life saver. It was taking me around 1 to 2 mins for each image.. with this option, I was able to go back and installed the previous version... and vola.. took me 30 mins to batch process 200 images.. thank you so much.. 

P.S. I also deselected the option to "automatic update" to save myself from this pain
