Easier updating masks

[ralphlouzon]

Hi,

A very simple thing: in the Develop module, if one or several masks need to be updated, a red dot appears on the mask symbol.
Instead of having to open the mask panel, right click on a mask and select update in the menu, it would be nicer and faster to right click on the mask symbol and update without having to open the panel.

Thanks

Settings>Update AI Masks…

Thank you Rikk, I didn't see this line. But a right-click could be also available... 🙂

I would love to have a little button next to the masks button, that is greyed out when normally, but if AI masks need to be updated, it becomes highlighted, so all I have to do is click the button.

If you do not have the masking panel up, you will see this:

That red dot indicates changes were mad. Clicking on the dot accomplishes exactly squat.

If you have the masking panel open, you will see this:

 Clicking on the Update All button will accomplish the updates.

Some options to make updating AI masks easier:

- The keyboard shortcut Opt Cmd U / Alt Ctrl U invokes the menu command Update AI Settings.

- In Library, you can select many photos and do Photo > Develop Settings > Update AI Settings (or use the keyboard shortcut). That will quickly skip over photos that don't need updating. In my catalog, it skipped over 1800 photos in 10 seconds.
