Intersecting masks

What problem do you see this solving?

Intersecting masks allow to make a combination of selections which can be very usefull especially when you want a partial change in the backgound of a selesced object or person. E.g. making a background behind a person gradually darker, or making a circular lighter spot behind a portrait or behind an object, and so on. In combination with AI masking the beauty of it would be that masks can be modified in the process.

This feature is already available in Lightroom and Photoshop [via Camera Raw filter].

When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?

In Portrait photography where i wanted to change the density circularly and gradually behind a person and many times in landscape and architectural photography.

Current workaround

Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?

Photoshop workaround [which is time consuming and creates extra Photoshop files].

    Merging should be supported as well. Sadly, the people influencing C1 developement seem to be focused on 1-click adjustments and "one size fits all" edits, so don't hold your breath for anything supporting custom work on single images.

    Yes, this is would be huge time saver! So many use cases. Usually I want to only make brush stroke masks or gradial masks to the background or to the subject. It makes end result so much cleaner when background and subject can be separated. For example darkening side of the face but not darkening the background.

    I would like to be able to apply a gradient to an AI mask. Right now workaround with a soft erase brush after the mask is created.

    You can easily work around this in C1.... Don't know why so many people mentioned this . Just draw the mask and delete the mask from objects or persons with AI... Same effect .. takes like 2 minutes mor time.

    There are multiple other feature requests on this topic.  It would be best to find those and upvote them rather than split the attention across many posts.

    Support this. I use Affinity Photo for this type of masking, but it doesn't have AI masks yet. And its another step with more files created. Anything architectural I need to make selections and have gradients over that selection. Can sometimes work around in C1 using AI eraser but something direct would be better.
