The “AI Masking Brush” is still not what a number of us are content with in PAI.
The features we’ve been expressing a desire for include:
- “Brush” tip (circle and ideally square) that enlarges or gets smaller to help us see not only the area of contact but also the diffusion area around that point of contact.
- A masking “Brush” that can be painted with like a real brush - ie, it lays down a selectable color overlay in smooth strokes only where we paint (not the free-form, snaking manner the AI Brush operates) - this is key b/c sometimes we don’t want a brush that goes on a search & fill mission and we want to control where a mask is laid down
- An Edge-Aware option for the brush (On/Off switch that is sticky and stays in the position the user last operated it) - Studio’s edge aware masking facility was always right on the money
- Hardness/Softness settings for the Masking Brush
- Easy-to-use keyboard hotkey (like ALT/OPTION) for switching b/wn Add & Subtract (not requiring going to a button for either of those functions)
Those are vital (at least initial) features for a masking brush - of course, it’s also important for the painted in mask to be accurately inverted if desired. Thx.
