MASK Features/Editing Tools we need to see in Aurora
1) I would really like to have a set of tools or editing capability (like lasso) where I can identify specifc objects I want to mask (have them automatically out lined), click a button and have them filled in automatically to make a mask. I'm tired of spending hours with the brush tool to mask in complex objects. The brush tool is not accurate and using the brush tool can lead to unwanted artifacts like halos if you're not very careful. AI advancements in recent years should be able to support a tool that does this.
2) I would like to be able to copy multiple masks to a layer to combine them. Right now you can only copy a single mask to another layer but you can't copy more than one and combine them. We can discuss these tools further Skylum team, just contact me directly.
I'd also like others in the forum to weigh in with comments on how to improve masking and if they agree with this line of thinking and the development of mask editing tools.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for your valuable feature suggestions. We will inform our developers team so they can consider them for our future releases. By the way, have you tried using Luminar 3 as a plug-in for Aurora? It does have the new Accent AI 2.0 tool after the 3.1 update which may help you with your editing. Please contact us via https://skylum.com/support if you need any kind of technical help or would like to request a feature.

Just to add my 2c here; Michael is absolutely right in that the existing masking tools are painful to use. I'd love to see a lasso tool (or even just a polygon thing). I have asked separately for a "flood fill" type thing, because that'd be (I think) relatively easy to implement, but that doesn't detract from the need for things asked for in this post.

Hi Robin,
That's a great suggestion - I totally see why you would like to have that.
A Polygonal Lasso tool is currently available as one of the options in the Erase Tool on Mac, but we will surely consider adding this feature to masks in both Windows and Mac versions in the future.
