Photoshop AI Depth Masking for Precise Subject Separation

Photoshop's new AI depth masking feature revolutionizes subject selection by analyzing the 3D depth of a scene rather than just edges or colors. This allows editors to accurately isolate subjects based on their physical distance from the camera. The technique, demonstrated using Camera Raw as a smart filter for non-destructive editing, enables precise adjustments to subjects and backgrounds independently. Users can modify exposure, color, clarity, and even apply localized color shifts to specific areas, a process that previously required extensive manual masking.
