How to copy AI Mask color corrections and apply these to other images masked with AI also
I've been wondering if there is any way to copy ONLY adjustments from a mask to another mask in the same picture or in other images.
My scenario is: On an image I manually draw a mask and applied several adjustments, but would like to use those same adjustments applied to a "AI Subject Mask" on other images.
Right now, I have to write down the values and manually input them across other images with AI mask? this is so counter productive? Please advise if I'm missing a workaround? or if not is this a possible update??? please make this happen! In E-comm images this must option.
Thanks

If I understand your question, here's how I approach this:
1. Create the desired mask(s) and apply whatever adjustments you need.
2. Select the other images you want those mask adjustments to be applied to, and then Copy the mask(s) to the other image(s).
3. For each other image, select the copied mask, Clear the mask, and then draw whatever mask you need. The copied adjustments remain and are applied to the new selection.
You may be able to automate the Copy/Clear Mask functions, but I haven't tried.

@... is correct for regular layers with masks drawn with the AI brush. Subject AI and Background AI layers perform dynamic masking when applied to new images so no re-drawing of the masks are required.

Walter, I know that's how AI masking is supposed to work, but they don't work for what I do. I shoot a lot of bird and wildlife photos, where the [same] subject usually moves a little (or a lot), or I change the camera position a little. In both cases, I consistently need to redraw the mask. It might work differently for people portraits (which seems to be a big focus for Capture One), but generally not for the work I do.
For example, I just shot several events involving raptors in-flight and perched. I also shot a number of images of an owl perched on a branch. While there were a few frames where the AI mask redrew like it's supposed to, ~95% did not.
Hence, I need to use the method I described almost all of the time. :(

I am not certain of this but I think Subject AI and Background AI masks were trained mostly for human subjects and MAY work on other subjects when it is easy to distinguish subject from background. What we need is a way to tell it to look for humans, or animals, or cars, etc, similar to how we tell our focus modes in camera.

I believe you're right. I recall that when David Grover demoed it, all of the batch work was done on humans, although he also showed it working with just about everything. Training on different subjects is certainly a lot of work. Camera manufacturers (at least Canon, Nikon and Sony) have undertaken it in their newer cameras, which can ID people, some kinds of vehicles, eyes, and so on. Still, that pretty much leaves us non-portrait photographers with the old "Copy/Clear/Redraw" process. Not a huge problem, but inconvenient.

Thanks for the input guys! Abbott your method definitely works and I have tried that, but I thought there was a way to copy just the color adjustments and apply, all good just have to do the mask copy option etc. maybe something that can be implemented in future updates??? Cheers Dom
