Neural Filter - Enlarge Selection area ?

  • December 6, 2021

Regarding the size of the selection box in Neural filter.  With typical business headshots, the selection area ends just below their chin. Is it possible to enlarge this selection area.  Women with long hair get the results cut off.  Thanks so very much as always.

    Hi there,

     

    We're sorry about the trouble. I would like to inform you that enlarging the selection area will not be possible by using the Neural filter in Photoshop because it's an AI (Artificial Intelligence) driven program that recognizes the face of its own and it uses AI to assess the image and then applies the required adjustments to the image.

     

    Regards,

    Has this been fixed yet? It's been several years since the original post, and some of the filters are absolutely useless with the box not able to be adjusted. It's 2024, and these filters have been around for three years at this point.

      The bounding box issue also effects work involving beards. Not being able to coax the AI to understand the true edges of the subject does reduce what could be an outstanding tool.

        I agree, having the hair do a beautiful job on part of the hair and then slice right back to what it was is aggravating.  Seems like with all this additional intelligence you have these days it would be trivial.  Have you asked the AI to write it for you?

          Could you elaborate on what the task is, post screenshots to illustrate?

            Another use for being able to select a larger area would be matching the skin of the face with the neck  & décolleté and not having a noticable discrepancy.  I am less concerned with the hair issue, than with matching the skin. Could it be possible to make the AI select for skin vs face?
