Just tried the AI and have to say that as an " auto " one button process I like the results . Did notice feeding it a Canon CR2 and asking to maintain image format , that the data for lens corrections in Adobe Camera Raw , where not readable on the AI processed file. ( CS6 used ) Then when I brightened the RAW in PS Raw converter as I opened post AI , I noticed hatching in the black areas. Will play more and update . When the masking arrives would it be possible to decide what the mask protects and what it passes. For example in a shot with oof background , please do not sharpen anything masked , but use noise reduction over the entire image.
