Mrfish Posted April 25, 2022 Posted April 25, 2022 I have the trial version and have been going through lots of youtube videos. When trying to remove the background the refine button does not isolate the subject. The mask layer also does not allow me to remove the background. I just get a transparent image. Quote

The refine tool - if that's what you're referring to - is to refine a selection once it has been made. I would suggest using the pen tool to isolate your subject then mask out the background. As ever, a screen shot or picture of your project would help others to help you. Quote Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe. These are not my own words but I sure like this quote.
Mrfish Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 Some of the other tools don't work either. I may try to re-install. Quote

Depending on your issue, it's unlikely that a re-install will change any behaviour. Can you please expand on the tools/workflow you are having trouble with currently? Quote
Mrfish Posted April 25, 2022 Author Posted April 25, 2022 The healing brush has started working after re-install but I'm not having much luck cutting out using mask or refine. See attached. Quote
