Refine edge tool makes no difference

• Refine edge in Select and mask

  I am not able to use tools refine in "select and mask" correctly. Rather than refine edges, it removes even the selection. I need some advice on her please. I use Macbook pro and Photoshop cc 2015.5.1.

  A conversation around to refine edge tool vs select and mask is also going on here, with a great new video of Conrad that most users of the tool Selection and mask must look to better refine their use of different brushes: Re: PS 2015.5 - tool refine edge? Missing?

  Feel free to continue the conversation.

• Refine Edge brush does not

• The Lasso tool selection is reversed when I click on refine edge

  I used the lasso tool to make a selection of foreground of a picture, but when I click on refine edge, the selected area appears in the background.  I tried clicking on reverse before I clicked on refine edge, & he's still hurt.  What I am doing wrong - why is - what happens?

  Thanks for any help... I use Windows 7-64 bit & Photoshop CC 2015.

• Can I repair my selection without leaving the tool to refine edge?

  Sometimes, when I'm cutting out images, I see a place where I need to squeeze a little towards the top of my selection.  Time often happens when I'm in the tool refine edge.  Normally, I leave the tool refine edge, make the settings on my selection and then return to the tool refine edge.

  Is there a way to make this tool improve the contour, so I must not leave this window to go back again?  Maybe a modifier key?

  What to do after you make the initial selection (usually with the Quick Selection tool), press the Q key to place the image in the quick mask.  This highlights the selected areas, making it easier to see if you have missed a few.  If the selection is likely to need some post improve the contour of fine-tuning, II verify decontaminate colors to force the output to "New layer with layer mask" so I can firm up an error with the layer mask.

  Something that I found to be a bad idea is to put a post selection refine edge in refine edge to correct errors.  That what is smooth on any detail of edge very well ruin the selection.  Much better to go back in history and do it again properly.

  Refine Edge is nowhere near the intuitive tool that they established when it was introduced, and almost all of the video tutorials that you see ideal object to use.  You almost never see someone trying to select hair from flyaway from a busy background, for example.  The tutorial by Martin Evening is the closest I can think of actually doing it.  It took me the age and age comfortable with refine edge, and I always find new ways to make it better.  Something that I hosted in recently turned on see the RADIUS to see if it encroaches too far in the selection, and if so, deleting some of them by painting with the ALT key.  If you disable Show RADIUS and artifacts, you went a little too far.  I find that this minimises this annoying thing where refine edge suddenly takes a bite out of what you want selected and makes it very thin.

• PS 2015.5 - tool refine edge? Missing?

  Hello

  With the new update of Photoshop, it seems that the tool improve the contour has been deleted or transformed into something else?
  Anyone shed any light on this? Its a tool that I would always use to quickly adjust my selections when you change the photograph.
  
  

  Nearest I can see who looks the same and is in the same location as the tool refine edge is Select and mask. It is under the right click of the selection.
  
  

  See you soon,.

• My tool "refine edge" is broken. Help!

  I need a hand. I made a selection, click on "refine edge", then clicked on the edge tool to refine. But when I bring it on the image, it's the circle with the line through it instead of the tool. It's driving me crazy that it won't work. This is my favorite tool. any ideas?

  You should uncheck "show original".

• Refine the tool missing - select and mask does not work on hair

  I also do not know how to use this tool. I need to select the edges of the hair and used the brush once I was inside the dialog box refine edge. This allowed me to use the brush on the edges of the hair, and he would choose loose bristles. Now select the and mask feature selects a large part of color that is affected by the brush and does not select just the strands. So I find myself with a person's head and a blob of 3 inches from the bottom red on each side of the head, because it acts as the tool magic wand or quick selection instead.

  How to make a selection with the lasso tool, then refine the edge and select the hair? I often hear to use the pen tool, but who's transformed into a selection eventually anyway. Is not wise to make a selection tool feather each and every time you want to select the hair - I make a selection of the entire body of the person and what part of it can refine the edge. Totally lost on how to select just the hair strands and refine the edge.

• Using refine edge (or select and mask) only on a part of an existing mask

  Is it possible to use refine edge (or select & mask) only on a part of a mask to avoid mess with what is already ready to go? (which to choose and mask tends to often especially when you use the brush, then the border brush refine for example).

  Kinda like the gel with fluidity tool or masking of the areas you want to not use when using content aware.

  Thank you.

  PS: I would like to be able to do it directly on the mask, I train without having to store selections as a channel. This is because it is not convenient when you want to do a lot of time on complex selections.

  I don't know of any provision aimed at limiting (gel) edge tool refine in some and mask - sounds like a great idea to raise here:
  https://feedback.Photoshop.com/photoshop_family

  However, I used workaround, to refine part of the mask, that doesn't involve not only save as channels and takes longer to describe than to do:

  1. prepare your initial mask and save with the layer.
  2 click once on this mask
  3. use the lasso tool to draw around the area you want to change (refine)
  4. make a right click the mask and click "Intersect with selection".
  5. fill in the new selection with black (on the layer mask)
  6. now double-click the mask to open it, select and mask. You will notice that only the area you want to refine is indicated.
  7 tools to refine this area of your mask
  8. Once done select "output to selection", and then click OK
  9. make sure that the mask is highlighted, and then fill the selection refined with White - this puts a new version of the section that you filled with black previously.

• Refine Edge results do not show on the Image

  I make adjustments to a selection with the edge tool I refine my selection. The edge is great in the preview, but when I click on the ok button the adjustments do not appear on my image. I went out into the 'selection '. Help?

  After making your selection click the border button to refine and try edge moving cursor. Push it completely to the left to enter the selection, and then choose output to new layer with mask. Disable or remove your background layer.

• Refine edge product area greyish when brushed

  Hello

  I have a picture with a woman with a white (255,255,255) and chose the background with the magic wand with tolerance 0. I was sure to not select white areas (not even the whites of the eyes) to say that white Photoshop IS NOT in the foreground. I thought it would help after seeing a video where it is said that it was important not to select all the colors of the background.

  I opened refine edge on the mask (first reversed for select model only) and choose to see black (since I want to put the picture in a very dark background).  When I brush the area with hair inside all produced by his raised arm to touch the top of the head, the hair becomes slightly colored and the background turns grey, with very low contrast. I can't find a way to make the background black in these brushed areas. Any sliders I have move to improve the contour, there is no way to get rid of the horrible and needless to gray.

  Can someone help me please? It is not the first picture with this problem - I think that refine edge is probably in the form of beta.

  Thank you

  Juan

  Juan, I opened your image at full resolution in Photoshop CC 2014.

  I then select the girl with the Quick Selection tool, using the selection and deselection (via Alt) to teach what I wanted selected and what is not.  It took all of 1 minute to do.  The selection stopped selection of one of the hair that are placed in the background blue, just like in the video of Russell Brown.  For example:

  

  Then I airbrushed a few places where the deselection does not completely eliminate the blue parts under his armpits.

  After the selection process, I used the button [refine edge].  I brushed on the transitional areas, just like in the video of Russell, around where her hair responds to the background, and adjust the contrast setting in the tool to refine edge a bit.  I chose several different backgrounds (white, black) from the Chooser dialog box refine edge to allow me to see what looked like the mask, and I moved the edge slider shift a bit.   Finally, I selected "New layer with layer mask" and completed the process to improve the contour.

  I then put a part of one of my own photos in the background and he blurred with a blur of the field.

  Here is the result:

  

  I didn't too long on the choice of reference material, although he's the kind of provocation.  I was just looking for something where I could put a light behind her hair.

  This whole process would have worked even better work the original raw data, if the entry had not been JPEG compressed.

  Here is the PSD file with the mask in it.

• Refine Edge CS5 question

  Hello

  I wonder if there is anything that I can get a work path or clipping after using edge tool refine.

  I tried to find a way to save changes / result after using it so that I can save the image with a transparent background, but no luck.

  S

  As long as you do not use the option of decontaminate colors in the

  Refine Edge dialog box, you can output to a selection and make a work path

  Since the selection or the output of a layer mask or a new layer with layer mask

  Load the selection of layer mask and do a workpath from that.

  You can save images with transparency in several formats, including psd,

  PDF, TIF and png.

  When the option of colours help to decontaminate her photoshop think you want to mix the

  selection at bottom so that the result is not good for just transparent images

  bottomless.

  Here are two really good videos on using refine edge.

  Even if they are for photoshop, photoshop elements 11 uses the same edge to refine.
