Apply image corrections from one subject selection mask to another image's subject selection mask
Implemented
What problem do you see this solving?
Subject masks do not auto "resolve" on a new image in the catalog/session when you copy a subject mask from one image to another. This is the same implementation that we asked for when we spoke with devs, and we referenced the way Lightroom does it. This further makes it difficult to apply corrections from one subject mask, to another subject mask on a different image.
When was the last time you were affected by this lack of functionality, or specific tool?
Every day on every portrait image set, and every food image set.
Are you using any workarounds or other solutions to achieve your goals in Capture One?
Currently, we have to memorize the settings on a previous subject ai mask and/or going back and forth from the different panels to manually add each color correction and high dynamic range correction, and each exposure correction to a new subject selection on every other image.
We have to select every image in the set and then click subject selection so that c1 can make the custom subject selection per image. Then if we go to our first image to start making updates to that subject selection (exposure, contrast, color corrections, etc) and want to apply those same changes to another image that has it's subject selection already created, we have no ability to copy those corrections over to another image's subject selection, because the mask will be "rewritten" from the copied corrections of the initial image.
Are you happy to be contacted further about this suggestion or request?
Yes

Hi Danny,
Thanks for the post! This is indeed an obviously valuable workflow and was unfortunately cut from the first version of AI Masking.
However, it will be part of a new release soon. :)
Update: This is part of Capture One 16.3.4 released on January 18th.Alexander

I agree 100% with Danny, its insane that we cant do that with the new update. I wouldve thought that it wouldve been obvious...

Yes. Danny is totally right here. Please correct the issue. This is a no-brainer that C1 needs to correct. Thanks for pointing this flaw out Danny.

I agree, it feels like this implementation would have been obvious. It’s how LR works. If I have an adjustment layer with an AI generated mask (subject or background) and I copy/apply that layer to another image, I would intuitively expect that AI generated mask to recompute. It makes no sense that it doesn’t, as a background or subject mask will not fit subsequent images.
This would greatly improve the feature’s usability across images and massively speed up bulk edit workflows.

Yes, I agree here.
Also, I believe existing masks should be capable of being changed to an AI generated mask (subject/background). Or the AI generated request is just a selection and not an auto generated layer. Would doing something like that assist in fixing the OP’s issue?

100% agree with Danny. I get asked the same question from many photographers that are getting the hands on Capture One, and they always surprise why that doesn’t work like Lightroom.
I’m looking forward to see an update on this matter soon

Yes John it looks like they updated it 8hrs ago, and the majority of the comments are from 14hrs or more ago, but doesn’t hurt to also comment thoughts on what improvements should look like or how it should function. Hopefully future comments have some direct feedback on what helpful little inclusions could be added.
