Selection Brush is broken as is "Refine"


Recommended Posts

In the release version I can use the select brush to remove a white background. Same with the flood select tool although with contiguous deselected, it will grab some of the same color on the graphic itself, easily deselected with the brush. I reverse the selection so the main object is selected I then Refine and it works correctly letting me select the finer details

Not so in 1903. Even with the find edges selected the flood fill just selects everything and the brush never find edges. Same with refine. If you paint a detail it also selects portions around it

I've attached a jpg. Please give it a try

Thanks

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying. It seems to work for me. Here I've used the Selection Brush in .1903on most of the white areas in your image, then clicked Refine to see what has been selected. It works the same in 2.1.0, for me.

Thanks Walt and Debra

Today the beta worked correctly. I know a bit better: I should have rebooted and tested again before reporting

Thanks for the replies
