What does the AI Subject Select effect change?

AI Subject Select identifies the requested semantic region and produces a precise mask or edit, using scene context to protect nearby edges, texture, and unrelated subjects. The strength control determines how much of that treatment replaces the unedited appearance.

Which photos work best with AI Subject Select?

Choose AI Subject Select for portrait and product cleanup, creative identity-preserving transformations, or targeted edits that are difficult to mask by hand when the source has clear detail and balanced exposure. Start with a lighter setting if it contains ambiguous low-resolution subjects, hidden facial features, or requests that require inventing exact factual details not present in the source.
