ON1 shares a sneak peek at the upcoming Super Select AI masking tool
Since its debut 5 years ago, ON1 has been building its Photo RAW software into a complete photo editing application with a RAW processor. It already has some masking tools to selectively retouch areas of an image, but now the company has released a video demonstrating an impressive new technology called “semantic masking.” can take selective editing to the next level.
According to ON1, semantic masking uses AI to divide an image into different regions, know what the region is, and automatically create the correct mask for them. This technology is incorporated into a new tool called Super Select AI, which allows you to highlight different areas by dragging the pointer over the image and create mask adjustment layers with a single click — or more if you want to add to the mask. Then it’s simply a matter of applying any number of adjustments, effects, and filters to the selected part of the image.
In the video, it is not mentioned when Super Select AI will be available, but it looks like it will be included in the next major release of ON1 Photo RAW in the coming months. Check out the video below.
