AI masking is great, but, unfortunately, not always. Think of landscape photography: An old, dried-up tree, just a bunch of branches ... and, of course, behind it the sky (another mask). Or a tree with leaves, but you can see through to the sky ... (again, two not interleaving masks are needed). Or a sailing boat: an empty mast with all the cords.

Current workaround
No workaround, only a lot of work, unfortunately: Sometimes the magic brush helps, but the tolerances are too high, even if tolerance is set to 0. Often I'm ending up using a simple brush and a lot of time. |
The most basic mask for landscape photography is the ability to mask the sky with a sky/tree boundary. Today's AI mask works OK with a sky/mountain boundary, but as soon as you put trees on the boundary, it just simply doesn't work. We're left to do a lot of manual work using a combination of magic brush and hand painting of masks which is super, super time consuming. Plus, since there's no algorithmic mask for the sky, we can't do styles or match look for the sky that "just work" on other image's sky (like you can do for people or subject/background) which would be a holy grail for landscape photography.
"an empty mast with all the cords" : Sorry for that, meant is "a mast with rigging".
