Have you used this little-known tool in recent Photoshop versions? Have you even seen it? It makes image editing a lot easier. See it in use here.
When I look at the development of post-production software these days and the capabilities they possess, I really don’t know whether to cry at the basket of redundant skills I currently possess or scream at the sky for everything. things are so easy now. To wit, I’ve spent so many hours perfecting my Pen Tool that I often wear it as a badge of honor. My control of the Bezier handle even turned it into a small office talk. I take great pride in my ingenuity. Now it all seems to be meaningless because of the development of editing software.
And that point brings us to this amazing video by Unmesh Dinda from PiXimperinf, in which he shows us a tool in Photoshop that makes masking incredibly easy. Like many others, I had no idea this tool existed, let alone what it could do, but when I saw it in action, I was blown away. You can cover every object in your photo quickly and instantly with the click of a button. Just go to the Layers tab then click on Mask All Objects. Photoshop will then create a mask, on its own layer, for every object it detects in the image. For example, if you have six people in a portrait, each person will be masked on their own layer, as well as grouped together on a separate layer. It is extraordinary. To see how it works and how you can apply it in real situations, watch the video and let me know what you think.
