Lightroom Classic - Create Mask > Select People > All People > Teeth - Bad Mask Issues

When I want to select the teeth of an entire group and I go to > Create Mask > Select People > All People and then select Teeth I get a terrible unusable mask. But if I go in an manually select each person lightroom detects one by one the mask is fine. It would save some time to not hae to manually select each one and just do all, but the all people doesnt make good mask when selecting teeth. Its been that way since day one of this feature and hasn't gotten any better over time. Seems like there is some kind of bug preventing the proper mask to be created when using all people. Is there any reason why this should work this way?

 

Thanks!

The issue is still present, the teeth mask for all subjects still don't work.

I also have a problem with the teeth mask, it is almost unusable because it doesn't select all the teeth of the single person neither all the teeth if I have more people in the picture.

Sure!

Here there's an example with different cases in one picture:

  • men's teeth aren't recognized
  • women's teeth are selected just in the central part of the upper archway

Cannot attach the file because it's a 45MPx and its size is about 33MB, so here's a link to download it: LINK

I can attach the mask result (it's a screenshot) after my editing process.

I hope it will serve our purpose.


Interesting.  I see the same misbehavior when I select People > All People and then check just Teeth:

 

But as the original poster noted, it does a very good job of selecting teeth (and not gums) when you select each Person in turn and check Teeth:
