[AP] Strange edge artifacts when refining a mask and using Black Matte as a preview

[Alex_M]

Please check the images attached below. I've got a jacket that I have to cut out of the white background. So I do a quick magic wand selection, create a mask, invert it and then I right click on it and do Refine Selection. My question is why do I get those strange edge artifacts when I use the "Feather" parameter and "Black Matte" as a preview method? This makes it very hard to judge the real result of the Refine Selection settings. I can properly judge the result only when I hit Apply. "White matte" and "Transparent" modes also shows the nasty splotchy edge artifacts. It seems that only "Black and white" and "Overlay" shows the edges properly. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi @Alex_M,

I suggest you have a look at these tutorials and see how to use the refine menu:

• Making Selections
• Refining Selections

Thanks,

Gabe.

Confirmed!

But.... I only get this on MAC Beta 1.6.7 (Beta 2). I do NOT get this in MAS 1.6.6.

I have not updated to 1.6.7 and if this is still happening in the newer MAS release I don't want to until it's fixed. So can someone else confirm on MAS 1.6.7 please?!

Hi Alex_M, JimmyJack,
I'm seeing the same issue in MAS 1.6.7. I believe this is already logged. I will check it out.
