Any idea how/when this will make it into Photoshop?

According to the article, the weights haven't been open sourced, so nobody can take this and build their own Photoshop plugin.

But I'm incredibly curious if they'll license this to Adobe, or if Adobe's already got its own team building the same thing that'll be just as good, or what.

It's not super-clear to me why Meta as opposed to Adobe has come out with this first, except maybe to be able to apply filters to just segments of photos in Insta?

The article seems to be misleading, since I can just go to the github and download the weights right now: https://github.com/facebookresearch/segment-anything#model-c...

However, for sake of fairness, competition, and reproducible science, I hope that if Adobe makes this a part of their commercial offering, they train their own so we can have two variants of the same model available to us.

Photoshop already has the Object Selection tool: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/tool-techniques/obje...

I tried Meta's photo segmentation tool and I didn't see anything magical in it.

I haven't tried Meta's yet but Photoshop's tool though decent struggles with complex scenes
