In Topaz DeNoise AI (and the other members of that software family) I can define a mask and easely invert it with the INVERT function. It is a very, very, powerful and useful feature but I don’t find something equal in Topaz AI. Please explain me if I am doing something wrong.
Thank you.
Would be handy to speed up the workflow where AI selects water/waterfalls & the such as the subject, and it is the surrounding area that you wish to sharpen not the subject.
Has anyone else asked or suggested to be able to invert the subject mask for Photo AI? This could be useful for some post processing after using Photo AI the first time, to be able to come back and work with the background specifically as a subject. [Edit] - I saw someone else was asking about this so I gave it a vote.
We’re working on this specifically for the Remove Noise filter at the moment
Thanks for the quick reply!
When you say you are working on it for the ‘Remove Noise’ filter, would that also provide the same option/functionality when used with the sharpen filter in Photo AI too?
Photo AI is becoming better and better with each refinement as you release upgrades. Thanks for the great work on this very useful tool.
Thanks /Mike

It might look different for Sharpen. Currently, there’s a “subject only” toggle within Sharpen if you haven’t given that a try yet!
Sometimes the sharpening is a bit strong even with the sliders very low or all the way down; it may still be too much for the foreground subject, so an “invert subject” in the sharpen mode would give the option of leaving the foreground subject unaffected, while doing some global sharpening in the back ground with the “invert mask”. This would be different than the current “subject only” option because either choice on that option is still going to sharpen the AI defined subject. I guess I could go in and subtract the mask out of the main subject and then little by little add it back in to all the background, but that would be quite a bit of work to isolate out the AI defined subject that way.

Thanks for clarifying. I can see how manually subtracting from the mask can be tedious.
How advanced is this function now? Or does it already exist and I just can’t find it?

Don´t understand this too , in the late V1 and Sharpen Ai tool it was there and very useful.
Please integrate this invert tool again!!!

It is more useful than substracting areas.
In sharpen Ai it was very useful.
Thank you

Please add subject auto selection from main screen to remove tool and include an ‘inverse mask’ option.
This way we can use the existing auto subject selection, which is quite good, in the remove tool, and as an example, click on ‘inverse mask’ to select everything but the subject!
In addition to my request to add the AI selection brush to the remove tool as well.
Thanks!

It would be great if you offered alt+click while painting to invert the option to work similarly to how many painting apps work (like Photoshop). I find it very inefficient to have to manually click add or subtract every time I want to add or remove parts of the mask. Allowing alt and paint would allow you to swap much easier and do small adjustments a lot easier as you keep your mouse in the same spot to remove your masking errors etc.
on top of that having a key + scroll to adjust the brush size would be extremely helpful if not swap that to be heel and key + for zoom.
I’d like to (selfishly) clarify that the Inverse Mask functionality (anywhere in PAI where masking is supported) should be possible Even If a Mask is Selected Manually & not be limited to just auto selections.
If that’s the case, then I endorse this suggestion!

[It would be useful to have an option to invert the Subject mask
Thanks for your input. Currently you can manually apply the mask to the background if you’d like, but I can see how tedious that is and how an invert subject mask tool would be useful.
Sometimes it would be fine to invert the selection / or copy the selection mask from one enhancement task to another.
And there’s something else I’d like to see: something similar to remove but filling the selection by AI patterns (plain color, sky, sand, grass, etc.)
Just an example how an inverted selection function could be helpful:
Just for fun: this is what remove is doing now and where a “fill selected area with white color” or “clear alpha level on selection” would be cool:
Hi. i work mainly with pictures of people genrated by 3d software, i have problem with noised hair so use Photo AI mainly to denoise them but as i do not want to blur all picture i manualy select area of denoising, and then sharp picture a bit but not that dnoised hair, so i have to select all and then manualy deselect hair so i spent so much time on that thing. it would be awesome to alow me to copy selection from one enhancment to another and then have function to invert selection. it seem that it should be very easy task for you guys to do such a thing.
Also nice thig would be also to select hair only in Auto selection option (like for subject , environment etc).
