Have you used Photoshop's magic wand tool in the last 5 years? No, it's nowhere close to this good.


The Magic Wand tool mostly just selects similarly colored pixels based on a simple algorithm. The Object Selection, Select Subject and Sky Replacement tools use AI detection and can be configured to run locally or on Adobe's GPUs. Having played with this demo, they seem in a similar league to me.


I'm just happy that a tool that PropriAdobe has sat on and crowed about for years is soon to be a click away for the masses and the hackers.


They have a newer “object selection” tool that’s similar.
