The Object Selection tool now includes a powerful Select People feature that is perfect for selecting people and all their details, such as clothing and body parts. Give it a try:
- Use the Object Selection tool on a photo with people.
- Click Select People in the Options bar.
- Choose Details to edit specific body parts or clothing items (Figure 1).

You can now do everything you would normally do with a selection. For instance, you can change the clothing with Generative Fill:
- Click a person in the Select People list, then select Upper Clothes.
- Click Apply, then extend the selection a bit in the Expand Selection dialog box (Select > Modify > Expand). You can start with 20px, but use a higher number when your image is larger.
- Use Generative Fill with a prompt like Green T-shirt to change colors instantly (Figure 2).

This workflow opens up endless possibilities for targeted adjustments without complex masking.
