Forge Neo Canvas Helper adds magic wand, lasso, and SAM2 selection for inpainting
MizarAiArt · reddit · 2026-10-29
A new open-source extension for Forge Neo's integrated canvas, Ultimate Canvas Helper, adds familiar selection sub-tools from PS/CSP workflows:
- Mask inversion, magic wand, lasso tool
- SAM2 clothing selection (color-based, not region-locked like the wand)
- An eraser compatible with all of the above
For heavy ControlNet and inpainting users, it addresses pain points like stale masks and masking around artifacts, with the author reporting roughly halved detailing time. Repo and Civitai page are live.
