Odd Problematic Behaviour With Refine Mask

[DavidMac]

I am getting some very strange behaviour from Refine Mask dialogue. The images below will show what is happening.

 

First_Selection.jpg shows the selection made with the Selection Brush.

 

Initial_Refine_Selection.jpg shows the refined selection. (I have only done this roughly for the purposes of this demonstration.)

 

New_masked_Layer.jpg shows the resultant new layer with its mask. Somehow I’d expect it to look a bit better from state of the refine dialogue - but that’s not the issue here. Clearly it needs some cleaning up so I go to the Layers menu and open Refine Mask.

 

Reopened_Refine_Dialogue.jpg shows what I get when I do this. Something is clearly wrong!

 

So the issue is am I using the tool badly or is there an AP problem some kind?

Hi DavidMac,

You're not doing anything wrong. I'm getting the same result here with other image.

Issue logged to be looked at. Thanks for letting us know about it.

It's not the first time it's happened by any means. It's not a regular issue but it pops up occasionally from time to time. Goes back several versions, that much I can tell you. Sorry I never reported it earlier but I didn't know AP as well back then and thought it was probably misuse by me.

 

Glad to hear it's not me being obtuse or clumsy at least .........  ;)
