Better (and reeditable) masking
Hello,
One big feature that I miss is, generally speaking, a more advanced masking control, especially the lack of the following:
-When you hit CTRL-Z without still having confirmed the mask with "Done", instead of what everyone would expect (simply undo the very latest brushing/trace action performed) it reverts the WHOLE mask!! Please fix this, since as a comsequence you can waste a lot of time being forced to rebuild the mask once again from the very beginning
- A smart masking brush that is content-aware (e.g. with the ability to accurately paint-in or out while detecting background&edges,considering differences in tonality, contrast,etc)
- Once finished defining a mask with "Done", being able to come back to it later and further refine or alter the mask whenever necessary
- Luminosity mask: allow to further fine-tune the mask with sliders affecting contrast, tone ranges,etc (like in ON1 e.g.)
- Colour range masks
- AI-based masks
-I honestly can't say I find the currently assigned hotkeys for resizing the brush size very practical/intuitive. Maybe it's just my own very personal view but, it would be great and speedy if you could alternatively simply mouse-scroll while hitting another more ergonomically placed and quickly accesible key like e.g Shift(as in other programs)
Best regards,
-
Thanks for your feedback, Angela!
I have just realized about the ability to reedit currently(previously defined) mask. Honestly, I am not sure now about how/why I was missing that capability, maybe it's just my fault, I was confussed and couldn't remember the actual behaviour correctly at the time of posting the thread. Or maybe it was a very specific combination that reproduces the issue (e.g.applying a brush mask and then a luminosity mask, I'm not sure now but in my mind I was convinced to having suffered the loose of a previous mask, I will try ro reproduce it).
Besides I am sorry (and surprised) since I have just detected that, at least in my desktop PC at (on Windows 10) the Shift key+mouse scroll combination indeed allows me to resize the brush. Maybe it was a matter of performance or similar issue on my laptop(sometimes Luminar 3 hungs/lags there). Obviously it's working as I expected and I am very happy and alliviated about it.
