Well… here is what I just found. If you put the mask on the layer BEFORE you send it to Mask AI, it comes back as an editable mask. It is exactly what it use to do. I think that what Mask AI SHOULD be doing is duplicate the layer, add a mask than go to the plugin. If this doesn’t get fixed in an upd…

Yep. That created a mask, but then you lose the transparency. I personally would like to have both - hence the approach I was using. It still would be good to suggest to Topaz that they build that mask generating function into the program (as an added product feature that everyone would get and no…

[image] Mask AI I think that what Mask AI SHOULD be doing is duplicate the layer, add a mask than go to the plugin. If this doesn’t get fixed in an update, I will simply create an action to do just that! Yes you should create a Action in the interim and I have moved this to Product Feature Req…

[image] JayLevine: If this doesn’t get fixed in an update, I will simply create an action I was going to suggest a Ps action option earlier, but then aborted that reply for a few reasons: It would take just as much effort to find & run the action (beyond the initial recording of it) as it …

As another quick interim solution, Open image in PS, duplicate layer Take into MAI, (I do a quick manual TriMap, compute manually) I also then compute manually via Contrast mode (subtle but there is a difference) Apply [Step%201%20AI] Takes the layer back to PS with the masked area as transpar…

Additional tip for anybody who doesn’t know - to emphasise the faint wispy hairs in Linda’s example above (and the faint areas near the edge of her shoulders) just paint over the area with a white brush in Overlay blend mode - in that blend mode a white brush can’t paint over pure black (and vice ve…

Yep…use that one all the time, thanks Paul

[image] lmgreene: did you know that you can then apply the levels command to a mask in PS as one of the refinements? I use it all the time! Oh wow, no. Never tried that. Now I will! Thx!!! I also realized I could drag the transparency layer down to the mask icon at the bottom of the layer st…

The problem with putting the mask on the transparent layer after it is returned is that the masked pixels are gone. The solution is to create the mask on the layer before you send it to MAI. When it returns, the pixels are there under the mask and you can bring any back that MAI might have removed. …
