I would like to load an image with corresponding AUTO Segment Anything masks, and then correct these masks with the Segment Anything tool in Roboflow. I have loaded the image and I can use the SAM tool, but I can’t figure out the Auto SAM part. I have generated the Auto (binary) masks outside of Roboflow, so ideally I’d like to load them as annotations, but I don’t know how to get them in the correct format. Alternatively, I could redo the auto masks in Roboflow, but I don’t see that as a feature in Roboflow (I have watched many videos and read many forums on the SAM tool where you click on an object and it segments that object, which I need for the edits, but I need to use the auto segmentation first).

Hey @crouse

What format do you have your mask annotations in? [This page has all the formats we support for import.](https://roboflow.com/formats)
