Refine Selection Problem

[FullThrottle]

I was refining a complex selection. Each time I refine the selection to the foreground or background, a little progress dialog appears as the selection is processed. If I click and try to make the next selection (brush stroke) while the progress dialog is still running, the entire refine selection dialog closes and everything I did is lost. I am back to the original photo with just the quick selection mask. Not really usable like this, as it takes just one accidental click and all your work in the refine selection is lost.

 

Using a Wacom tablet and Windows 8.1 if that matters.

Hi FullThrottle

 

Thanks for the report - I can see the refine dialog getting dismissed when it shouldn't be using the mouse as well. I'll get that logged

I am having exactly the same issues , I have wasted hours trying to work around this, and have lost work over and over again. If you click whilst the white processing bar showing an intermediate selection processing it not only looses everything but it also corrupts the the next attempts to repeat the refine process. You need to come out and de-select then re-select before attempting the refine process again.

 

This clumsy process makes the select and refine work flow fairly unusable. I am running windows 7, and have 8 gig of ram, on a 2.4 Ghz CPU
