Compositing in older versions of ON1 Photo Raw used to require a lot of masking and manually separating the subjects and backgrounds with various tools, it took quite some time especially with complex subjects. Now in Photo RAW 2023, you can use the AI masking tools to instantly identify the subject and background so you can quickly combine photos with layers.

Maybe you should talk slower so I don’t have to go back and forth to figure out what you just pointed to and did.

Dylan,
I tend to prevent creating .onphoto files when ever it’s possible. Would you not be able to create almost the same result with the AI Sky replacement or just using SSAI, adding the sky as a texture.
It would be interesting to see a comparison.

The lower tail feathers still have some serious halos. This, to me is a dead give away that the sky has been replaced. This would not fulfill the standard of a fine art photography. Garbage mattes (as we call them in the film biz) are fine for contrast changes and like adjustments but when masking a background precision is the key.

I captured a screenshot of the original eagle photo and experimented how and if I could achieve the same result with AI Sky Replacement without creating an .onphoto file with layers. And it works just fine with less than two minutes of editing. With some more fine-tuning one could even improve the result.

Whilst I understand this is just an example you really should have left out the BG blurring ! How on earth can you shoot a bird, requiring a very fast shutter speed, whilst also having a blurred BG which requires a slow shutter speed?! This would immediately be identified as fake by any bird photographer.
