A Sneak Peek at the New Refine Mask Brush

[@Gueni401]

This is really fantastic with the tree, which mask is created with your fine branches, congratulations to the whole team, who constantly improve this great product dear Dan, I am already looking forward to the new update :)) Have a nice weekend, best regards Güni :))

[@ON1Photo]

Have a great weekend as well!

[@richardnewey7019]

Bravo, ON1, brilliant development!

[@ON1Photo]

You will love it!

[@NiekkieNick]

Just canceled my subscription on LR because I don't want to pay a monthly subscription for LR. ON1 Photo RAW is great and you can buy it! I also like the library manager! Watching all these kind of short tutorials convinces me even more to buy ON1!

[@ON1Photo]

Good choice!

[@fabietto30]

Beyond awesome, love on1 photo raw more than ever! Well done!

[@ON1Photo]

Thanks so much!

[@OwenEDell]

Well doggone, there seems to be no limit to how good On1 can get. You guys are doing great work. Thanks!

[@ON1Photo]

Thank you very much!

[@DirkErbse]

Wow! That's great! Can't wait to test in on pictures with hair 🙂

[@rgarlinyc]

That is astonishingly good! More words fail me.

[@ON1Photo]

Thanks so much!

[@scottabergermd]

LOVE On1, and what they are doing for Photography enthusiasts such as myself. I have one issue which is when I am refining these masks. I have a tough time knowing whether to pick paint in or paint out. Is there any kind of general rules you can give me for knowing which choice to make and also when to use the perfect brush in conjunction. Other than that stuff is very easy to understand, although because you have so much technology and choices built into your interface. Sometimes it’s hard to tell what. Tab or layer you are working on. I am so excited about the future of online products. Thank you. I will await your reply, because really could use your suggestion.

[@teresababer5310]

Outstanding improvement!!!

[@ednsb]

can't wait.. isn't it June already?

[@ridgi8605]

We want it as soon as possible. Great development.

[@adrisanme2010]

It will be even better for our learning process if we could download the original photo you used in the tutorial. thank you

[@davejsullivan]

Excellent. I'm still hoping for a Depth Mask that can be used with lens blur or any other tool. It would be amazing to be able to adjust the depth of field (look) more easily. Is there an easy way to do this that I'm missing?

[@alf5778]

You guys always blow me away with all these improvements. Well done 😊😊😊

[@teesor314]

This is amazing!! Thanks for all you do!!!

[@ON1Photo]

You're welcome!

[@jameldecasseres8638]

Awesome sauce!! Can’t wait to use that feature

[@Anusil73]

Wow echt super wann kommt das Update?

[@ON1Photo]

Early June!

[@marclabro]

very powerful. However, how do you explain first tree selection was so bad ? first, as AI, it should recognize branches. Second, here, luminosity masks should help a lot due to high contrast between tree and sky.

[@ON1Photo]

Well it will continue to get better. The AI model used to identify the tree did in fact identify the tree, but doesnt quite know about all of the individual branches. The technology will continue to get a lot better at refinement and eventually the two will merge if that makes sense.

[@dougdavies1089]

Another excellent addition

[@yahooskip]

Hi, after creating this mask, how, if possible, do I delete the background? I'd like to save this tree and change the background and get rid of a build and a few other items to highlife just the tree

[@Michael-fw5ef]

Can you do a demonstration of masking for product photography. Many people sell online these days and we have to make masks for our products so we can make finite adjustments.

[@ON1Photo]

We saw your previous comment and it's on our list! Hopefully will have something in the next week or so

[@emeregildo100]

The refine mask performance is Impressive and it's much appreciated. Also, for this image shawn I noticed a bit of banding on the top. If ON1 had a specific tool to get rid of banding (a common issue with a Complex solution) by using AI it would be a home run, and a key differentiating attribute in editing softwares.

[@ON1Photo]

Awesome! We couldn't see the banding. Do you know the time in the video where you are seeing it?

[@emeregildo100]

@@ON1Photo It is not a profound banding, but only a minor one as I´ve mentioned before, however, I can see it in my 4 K monitor as of the time 1:32 onwards. If you´d like, I can send you a captured image of the screen by email. Anyways, I´m not sure if creating an AI tool for removing banding is something you´re considering in developing, however, I mentioned it to to you a suggestion since that would be quite a useful tool to have too.

[@eartho]

any banding you see here is probably the heavy compression that youtube applies to all video.

[@Laz_Arus]

@@eartho Nailed it! There is some subtle banding evident at that time mark, but I'm confident KZbin is the culprit.

[@yahooskip]

?? I not see the refine mask brush icon in the tool bar nor the drop down options for "Hair / Branches"? On1 24.1?

[@ON1Photo]

Choose the masking brush and then in the top tool bar you can choose the type of brush. Refine Brush (N) is also the shortcut.

[@DannyFyffe]

Dan: If you keep this up, you'll make a dummy (me) a mask expert by clicking a button. This will be so helpful. I am excited for this next release.

[@Mimiclobster]

If the AI mask was trained using similar images, why can't it do the fine selection on the first pass? Why can't the result of the refine mask be included in the AI mask? What am I missing?

[@ON1Photo]

Thats the idea. It will continue to get better

[@bruceatkinson932]

Are these new features going to be available on the iOS version of ON1?

[@ON1Photo]

Hopefully at some point

[@iAmSelectaSupa]

Hi, can I make a panorama using 3 top photos left to right and 3 bottom photos left to right. ??

[@ON1Photo]

You should be able to

[@marklaurendet1861]

This looks like it could be used for say hairs on a spiders legs or other fine details in close up work. If this is the case could you do a demo on some close up images? Spiders legs, fine folage etc It would be great if this feature helps close up photographers, who seem to be left out of main stream retouching programs a bit

[@ON1Photo]

We will see what we can do!

[@robcoates4394]

Really looking forward 2023.5. Your boffins are amazing! One off-topic comment - that blurred effect you use on the background when you're on screen is very distracting, especially as it makes the edge of your head fuzzy! Totally unnecessary! 😉

[@ON1Photo]

Thanks for the feedback!

Superb. That will save tons of time.
