We are happy to announce, the Object Selection tool > Body Segmentation feature is now available for Beta testing in the 26.3.0 Beta build.

Object Selection Tool, Select People feature will automatically detect all the people in your image and display their detected attributes available for selection. This feature aims to speed up and streamline the editing process by letting you isolate body parts quickly and is especially handy for quick selections that will be used in the Generative Fill, and localized Adjustments workflows.

We currently detect the following people attributes: 

Hair, eyebrows, eyes, pupils, glasses, nose, mouth, teeth, ears, facial skin, beard hat, upper body skin,
arms, hands, legs, coat, upper clothes, lower clothes, dress, shoes, and accessories

How to test:
1. Make sure you update Ps Desktop Beta build to the latest build: 
Adobe Photoshop Version: 26.3.0 20241208.m.2899 5af8791 arm64 (at the time of this posting)

2. Open an image that contains people.
3. Select the Object Selection tool. 
4. Select the Object Selection tool. Make sure “Object Finder” and “Auto Show Overlay” options in the gear dropdown on Options Bar are enabled.

5. Select the “Select people” button in the OST Options Bar Select People Button.pngexpand imageDetection.pngexpand image

 

6. Choose a detected person’s thumbnail, then select attributes and apply to make a selection. You can also choose the "All People" icon, and choose attributes that are common with all detected people. When you hover your mouse over the "tags" of people attributes, you will see a preview hover on canvas. Clicking the "Apply" button will select the attributes from the UI.

7. Alternatively, you can hover your cursor over the image, to see a preview the various segmented areas associated with a person (the legs on the man are detected - shown by a pink overlay). Click on canvas to make a selection.

We would love to get Beta feedback:

  • With your images, is the detection of various body parts, clothing, and accessories what you want and expected?
  • Are the selections and/or masks good enough to help your workflows?
  • How is the performance, with the tool and Photoshop?

Known Issues:

  • When there are multiple people in an image, sometimes hovering over person 1, will also highlight person 2 same body parts.
  • The technology sometimes has trouble with accurate detection and selection of hands and lips.
  • Complex clothing is not detected correctly (partial detection)

I don't think it's a bad idea, but don't you usually turn off object finder and overlay and use it? I felt very slow when finder was on at the beginning of the millennium release, and I always turned it off and used it, and I remember seeing related issues in the community as well.
I think it's a more necessary update to get the speed of object selection as fast as it was in 21.0.3.

There’s an issue with detection when a small part of the head is missing.

It’s strange because only the eyebrows and hair are absent, yet the algorithm stops recognizing it as a human.

However, if you extend the head slightly using generative fill, the algorithm immediately starts identifying all areas correctly.

I’m eagerly looking forward to improvements in this feature when it will be able to recognize even individual body parts or separate clothing elements. 👍
