Presets | Preserve Auto Selection with Inverted Selections

When saving preset in Photo AI 3.4.3 that has 2 Denoise operations with inverted auto selections (e.g. one Denoise has Subject selected and other Denoise has Background selected) then it does not store the first auto selection option and replaces it with All selection. When preset is re-applied, it will auto select only for second Denoise and in first Denoise I have to manually re-select auto selection. I have tried both ways - first Denoise has Subject selected, second Denoise has Background selected or first has Background selected and second has Subject selected. In both ways first selection is not applied when Iā€™m using my preset, but the second one is normally applied.

NB! Iā€™m using Lightroom ā†’ Edit in Photo AI ā†’ Lightroom workflow.

Steps to reproduce issue:

  1. Add Denoise operation to your image manually
  2. Under Controls tab choose Auto selection Subject
    3.Add another Denoise operation to your image manually
  3. Under Controls tab choose Auto selection with value Background
  4. Apply desired configuration for both Denoise operations
  5. Click Save edits as new preset button on right bottom. Store preset with desired name.
  6. Open another photo
  7. To save time instead 2 separate Denoise addition click Add enhancements button and select the previously saved preset.

Expected result: 2 Denoise operations are automatically added with saved configuration. First Denoise will select and apply only to Subject and second will select and apply only to background.

Actual result: 2 Denoise operations are automatically added with saved configuration except first Denoise has no automatic Subject selected. Instead it selects all the image (Auto selection value is also All). Second Denoise selects background as expected and applies denoise.
