Forge Neo Canvas Helper extension adds magic wand, lasso and SAM2 selection for ControlNet and inpainting

A Reddit user introduces Forge Neo Ultimate Canvas Helper, an open-source extension (on GitHub/Civitai) a friend built for Forge Neo's integrated canvas, adding selection sub-tools familiar to PS/CSP users:
- Mask inversion, magic wand, lasso tool
- Color-based SAM2 clothing selection (not region-locked like the wand)
- An eraser compatible with all of the above
The author, a heavy ControlNet user who does post-generation detailing, says it roughly halves masking time and relieves pain points like stale masks and hard-to-mask artifacts that force lower ControlNet weights.
