Product Updates
Introducing Select Object, a new tool to select objects and convert into editable layers.
October 29, 2024
We’re excited to introduce a new, powerful feature in Invoke 5.3: Select Object.

This tool makes it easy to select specific objects within an image and instantly convert them into editable layers. Select Object combined with Invoke’s 5.0 canvas provides a new, unmatched level of editing control. With it, you can fine-tune specific image elements through inpainting, control layers, and image transformations directly on raster elements.

What Select Object Can Do

With Select Object, isolating image elements is easy. Add inclusion & exclusion points to any object and your object will be automatically segmented from the rest of the image. Turn it into a new layer, and edit it in Invoke’s control canvas. The Select Object tool removes the need for segmenting in other software, speeding up workflows for both casual users and professional creatives.

Seamless Integration with the Control Canvas

Invoke’s control canvas allows precise, layer-by-layer image refinement. Once an object is isolated with Select Object, you can adjust it independently, using inpaint masks, control layers, or image 

transformations without affecting the rest of the image.

Key Use Cases for Select Object

Here’s some ways we’re seeing users use Select Object:

  • Change Backgrounds Easily: Replace backgrounds without altering your subject. Great for shifting moods or creating new settings.
  • Refine Objects Without Impacting the Background: Adjust images or other objects independently of their background.
  • Duplicate and Reposition Elements: Like an object in your image? Copy and reposition it within the canvas. Select Object allows you to duplicate and move elements in seconds.
  • Segment 3D Visualizations for Placement in New Environments: Isolate elements within 3D renderings to place them in different contexts.
  • Apply Regional Reference Images: Use regional references to influence specific image areas. 

Invoke 5.3 builds on the features and additional AI model support we’ve added recently, including Flux Controlnets & IP Adapters, and pressure-sensitive tablet support. These features continue to establish Invoke as the go-to platform for deploying top tier AI models, as well as the canvas for creatives looking for the highest level of control.

Select Object is now live in both our freely available Community Edition for users looking to self-host and in our Professional Edition for users looking for a cloud-hosted version for themselves or their enterprise teams.
