P:(Masking) Add auto update recompute to subject /sky masking after copy/paste

"I would love to hear some discussion from those posting here regarding expectations about behavior, warnings, abort options, when a 100 batch of images is going to take 20-30 minutes of run time. "

I mean, regardless I'm spending that time, one of the paths just so happens to include unnecessary labor. Let me make the choice before committing sure but either way that time needs to be spent you might as well make it easier on me.

Awesome to know this is planned. @Rikk Flohr: Photography regarding your question on expectation in terms of performance, 20-30 minutes is totally fine and understandable. The feature will still save tens if not hundreds of hours and I have no issue making coffee while the computer recomputes. 

Hello,

I realize I may be late to this party, but I have a suggestion for the user experience. 

Firstly, Lightroom should be able to know approximate times for the Select Subject calculation on each user machine.  Lr could keep track of the statistic regarding the AI function times (I would expect it already does, for dev troubleshooting).  

Secondly, when a user requests a batch AI operation, Lr could use that statistic in an estimation of the batch processing time.  If the Select Subject has a 6 second average with a 1.5 second stdev, then when a user requests a 100-photo batch Lr can tell the user an estimate of "About 5 minutes; mostly likely between 4 and 6 minutes."

Finally, give the user a choice of how to proceed.  They could execute immediately, or schedule the task to run later at a specified time, or schedule to run when Lr next closes (like the "Backup When Lr Closes" feature), or maybe something cool like "Run in the Background during Idle Time" as an option.  

The tl;dr is to provide the user a personalized processing estimate, and then give them a choice on when to execute the batch.

Bonjour.

Lightroom a enfin intégré de supers fonctions de masque comme "sélectionner un sujet".

Super j'adore, j'adhère, mais lorsque je crée un ensemble de réglages et que je copie l'ensemble, masque de sujet y compris, et que je veux le coller sur toutes les photos, tout est collé certe mais pour le masque de sujet, il faire photo par photo "mettre à jour le masque". J'ai zappé un truc ou il n'y a pas moyen de faire autrement?

Ce serait tellement évident et simple que le masque se mette à jour sur chaque image lors d'un copié-collé.

I received a notification today: Lightroom Classic Update. It will be the right time?

Five months later and still no update to implement this obvious feature that should have been in v1. And honestly, this is more of a bug fix than a feature request. Adobe should have known better here.

Any updates will be posted here. Adobe has set the status of this request to "Planned" (see the top of the thread), which they rarely do with ideas, so that's a positive indication it will likely get implemented. But Adobe almost never announces future release dates.

Thanks John. I appreciate your help looking into this. The hunt continues! Unless Adobe can knock this auto-compute out soon. Has anyone heard updates on the status of this implementation? 

"is there any option within the backend SDK for creating our own form of automation for the masking re-compute? I am looking for any possible workaround for turning that computation into an automated experience."

I spent a while looking for documented and undocumented methods but came up empty (there's a fair amount in the SDK that's undocumented). 

Just added a similar idea. The point of "it would take a lot of time" would also applies to smart previews or 1:1 previews batch build,  these can also be time consuming tasks, but still is up to the user to plan and decide when it's best to run such a task, say go to bed and return to a catalog with all its previews (smart and 1:1) ready to rock. Right? Same principle here. You give as the option, we take the hard call to actually use it when is most convenient.
