Zoom Control Comes to the Generic Auto Focus Model!

Hi there,

A focused improvement for anyone using Auto Focus with the General detection model. We've brought the same Zoom Level control that was already available on the People model to the General model — giving you consistent, precise control no matter what you're framing.


What's New?

The General model previously locked the zoom to the maximum, cropping tightly to the edges of the detected object with no room to breathe. Now you're in control.

After running detection and selecting your focus tags, you'll find a new Zoom Level selector with four options:

  • Off — no zoom applied, the full image is used as-is.
  • Low — a subtle crop that keeps plenty of context around the detected subject.
  • Medium — a balanced crop for most use cases.
  • Max — the previous default behavior, cropping tightly to the edges of the detected object.

How It Works

  1. Select an image layer and click Modify with AI in the properties panel.
  2. Choose Auto Focus and select the General detection model.
  3. Click Launch Detection and select the tag(s) you want to focus on.
  4. Pick your preferred Zoom Level — Off, Low, Medium, or Max.
  5. Click Apply AI Focus to save your settings.

The zoom configuration applies automatically to all future generations for that layer, whether via API, Spreadsheet, or Quick Generation.
