"Refine edge" creates now automatically new layer... why?

For some reason whenever I have any use the option "Refine edge" after making a selection, then click on 'OK', Photoshop creates a new layer with a mask on it, instead of simple leaves the edge of the selection and let me decide what to do with it (which was the previous behavior).

I have no idea if this is the new default behavior or if I triggered an option somewhere that I shouldn't.

How to "Refine edge" DOES NOT create a new layer or something like that?

In the dialog box refine edge, there's a menu drop down allowing you to do a number of things, including taking a new layer with mask. Choose something else.

  • Refine edge tool makes no difference

    After making my selection, I go to "refine edge" and use the brush to change the selection - except nothing happens. No changes occur to the selection. I watched YouTube tutorials, checked my settings, even reset my settings and nothing. What is going on?
    P.S. It happened randomly, all of a sudden, not only after an update or anything, it just stopped working. That is what it is? So frustrating! I'm doing a photo restoration and need it works!

    What version of Photoshop are you using?

    You can post a screenshot?

    FYI, Refine Edge went in its new version of Photoshop and was replaced by Select and mask.

  • Why the new update now automatically put my uid/pw in the box? Previously, I had to click on the box. It is a security risk.

    The latest update of Firefox now automatically my uid/pw in the boxes. Previously, I had discretion because they do not display unless I clicked on the box. Now anyone who uses my pc (same family), are they 'just' to go to my bank or other personal sites, the information is displayed. Although the pw is "played on" it makes no difference because it appears automatically.
    My concern is that the extra security of 'not seeming to be here' today has been removed. It wasn't a well-thought updated.

  • Why doesn't iPhoto creates EVENTS automatically more?

    I have a MacBook Pro running Yosemite 10.10.5.  From 2012 to 2015, whenever I inserted an SD card with pictures on it of my camera Panasonic, created iPhoto AUTOMATICALLY a NEW EVENT.  This made it very easy to find pictures, say, holiday in April 2014.  Now iPhoto is more for this.  I insert the SD card, photos are uploaded on my MacBook Pro - and there is no new EVENT created automatically.  It's very frustrating b/c I have to now click on "All Photos" to find something. Help!

    You actually use iPhoto or the new application Photos?  If it's the latter, then read this thing: Moments in Photos are new events.

  • Actions - create new layer always give prompt

    I use Ilustrator CS5 and created an action that does the following:

    • Select all and copy an object
    • creates a new layer
    • pasta in places on the new layer
    • changes the color of the selected object
    • renames the layer with the color name that was used
    • repeats so I have 21 different layers, all with different colors

    Overall, it works very well. But, whenever it makes the new layer, I get a box of the new layer dialog box and I have to click 'ok '.  The action creates 20 different layers, I'd only not to click ok for each new layer.  Not sure why this dialog is coming because he doesn't when I record the action. Any ideas?

    Thank you

    Christine

    In the actions Palette, disable the modal dialogue box on the left side of the action step that creates the new layer.

  • Select and artifacts of mask using the new refine edge

    Hi all

    is - that someone else has had this problem since the last update version 2015.5.0 Photoshop?

    I find strange artifacts when using select and mask and the new brush refine edge that would not happen in the old refine edge.

    The Alpha channel looks good but the image shows of strange artifacts and blurry tasks and resembling traces of brush end hard.

    I took the time to correct my mask in order to remove any traces of brush hard edge, but they seams to still be there. I find it very frustrating.

    Select & Mask Blurred Artifacts.jpg

    Hmmm... think I just found the answer to my question. I got the color box to decontaminate tiquetee.

    I have hidden without this box and the blur and artifacts disappeared. My recommendation for anyone making high range of editing and masking is to leave this box unchecked.

  • Questions: Create a new layer / switch between the screen Modes

    I spent the day to reset my workflow and keyboard shortcuts that I have the transition from CS5.5 on CC. A question about the ID:

    1. create a new layer draws up the InDesign menus? In CS5.5, I managed to create a shortcut customized in three programs (PS, I, ID). In cloud creative, no matter how hard I look in InDesign, that I can't find a place in the dialog box shortcuts keyboard to make a shortcut for this command.

    2 in Photoshop and Illustrator, by pressing the F button toggles between screen modes. In InDesign CS5.5, it does the same thing. However, CC does not seem to have this feature. He wants to assign three different shortcuts for Normal, overview and presentation of the screens. Correct, and is it possible to return to a toggle key 'F'?

    Thank you!

    Perhaps scriptable. Ask in the InDesign scripting

  • Automate-> plug-in on new layer...?

    Anyone know automate what this function in fact CS6? Under file-> automate, I see a "plug-in on the new layer. However, when I click nothing happens...

    I wonder if it was installed with a plug-in. Anyone know what it does or how to use it?

    I think that it is a plugin Alien Skin.

    (the name of the plugin must be AutoLayer.8li in plugin Alien Skinfolder)

    If your on windows xp, you can easily see what a plugin is by right clicking on it

    and choosing Properties > Version

    In any case my old version of candy for the eyes and exhibition has this plugin

    and think it has to do with the creation of a new layer to the output of the filter.

    (I invoke the plugin from the menu PLC should not do anything)
