Refine Mask after it was made

[evtonic3]

If I right click a mask that has already been set and lives in the layers panel with its parent layer, this functionality takes me to the refine selection panel but nothing changes when I change any slider. How is this right-click refine mask work? also what's the difference in Refine Mask and Edit Mask?

Hi evtonic3

When right clicking a mask which has already been edited, refining the mask should work as below;

Refining masks work very similarly to refining selections, you can see more on refining selections here - 

Right Click> Edit mask provides a view of the grayscale mask only, which can then be independently edited using the brush tools etc. Using edit mask does not provide you with the same studio window as above for fine refinements. I hope this helps!
