Can I save the Camera Raw Mask to use within Photoshop?

[Outtacontext]

I have found that the mask Camera Raw creates of a person is more accurate than using the subject selection tool with Object Finder checked. Is there a way of saving the mask Camera Raw creates of a person so I can use it to select that person within Photoshop?

I can't seem to find a way to save that mask and place it in Photoshop.

No there isn't a way, at this time. It's been suggest numerous times, but it doesn't look like Adobe will act on it.

I'm convinced that the ACR team has gone rogue. They're using the selection tech from Ps, but then won't give us access to the masks once we leave ACR? Makes no sense. We're also now more than how many years into requesting a layered/composite view inside ACR? Not to mention all the kbsc incosistencies between ACR, Lr and Ps. They really don't seem to care about those users who spend all day, every day bouncing between the apps trying to make a living using them.

Would love to see this implemented in the future

Merged the two first ones, the third is slightly different.

Fourth has an invite to post on a FR thread.

Don't use the object finder masks, they suck. Just use Select Subject
