P: "Parent" mask and the Inverted masks "child" masks preset

Community Beginner ,

Hello Everyone!

 

A little context, I take photos regulary of vehicles in front of the same background but they just rotate for different shots, I usually apply the same settings to create the same style and look for the business on social media, to easily repeat this process I have a preset for my base image settings and presets for my masks I usually apply but I wish there was a better way to automate this workflow and styling of masking shown bellow.

 

Mask Creation Workflow:

Create a mask of just the vehicle using Subject AI Detect, then refine the AI mask by using add and subtract brushes > Copy and Invert the mask to create a background mask > Apply gradient mask to bottom of the image > 2x Copy the inverted background mask and create a gradient subtract for each

All Masks then have their adjustment presets applied with some fine tunning here and there.

 

When you create an inverted copy of a mask it simply carries over the data such as Subject AI and Brush refinements to the new mask but there seems to be no way to sync this data to the original mask as a dependancy, For example the vehicle mask could be a "Parent" mask and the Inverted masks "child" masks. I would love to be able to just simply load a preset containing my mask workflow go into the mask for the vehicle and refine it with add and subtract brushes and have it update the child masks assocated with the parent vehicle mask. This would also elimenate the issue of when I finish my image but notice I improperly refined the vehicle mask with brushes forcing me then to have to delete my masks except for the vehicle mask and start over from there again.

Yes you can copy and invert the brushes but still not a quick enough fix and would be very slow. Its also buggy and does not work well.

 

My use case for it may be sprecific but I'm pretty sure theres many others who have similar workflows, this could be amazing for seperating the sky edit from background edits synced to a subject mask allowing for some easy workflow for not just this but many other use cases for the ways people use the masking tools.
