Mask error?

[MartinK]

Hello,

 

I have a problem with the mask function. To illustrate this as clearly as possible, I would like to illustrate this by means of a practical example in which I proceed step by step. Maybe someone can help me?

 

First, I set a dog free with the pickup brush.

 

 

Then I go on Refine edges.

 

 

I refine the mask and set the output to New Layer with Mask.

 

 

The mask is done.

 

 

Now I create a new layer with a gradient and place it under the mask.

 

 

I want to refine a bit later and click on the mask with the right mouse button on Refine mask. Then I get this:

 

 

I think the reason therefor is the mark Follow contrast limits. Ok, I can disable it so then it looks like this:

 

 

But if I want to change the mask for some reason, the detached pixels are still present. In any case, the mask looks different.

 

I must say I'm pretty irritated.

 

By the way, Affinity Photo started out on my longer experiment, spinning around and showed, among other things, this result:

Hi Martin,

 

Apologies for the delay!

 

This is an issue that isn't unique to the windows build and is currently logged.

 

Thanks for making sure it got reported :)
