Sheesh! ACDSee doesn't have anything to worry about! If you want to read my thoughts, you can find it on DPR in the retouching forum.
But the one interesting tool they have is an automated sky replacement. As near as I can tell, it uses an AI version of something similar to Pixel Targeting tweaked for sky replacement.
I suspect this because the new sky tends to bleed into the portion of the photo where it should be masked out. In experimenting with L4 sky replacement, I noticed that the replaced sky would only bleed into areas that are the same color and luminosity as the sky, or very close to it. If so, I should think this is a quick and dirty way to create the sky replacement mask, but at the cost of quality work.
I wonder if a series of actions could be created to do this in ACDSee Ultimate? I suspect a Pixel targeted mask could be coupled with layers to 'touch up' the mask before sky replacement, and thereby eliminate the bleed-over. It might be a cheap and easy way to add buzz to a new release.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to go about this in a manual fashion?
