Refine selection


Recommended Posts

I am having an issue with the object selection and the refine tool.  

‘When I select a specific background colour, use ‘invert selection” from the drop down menu, then refine, there is no mask be created.  

Anybody know why.

I am not seeing this here. I am not certain but I think we have to wait for the first refine to complete before making any adjustments.

Do you get a selection even without a mask appearing?

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Hi Old Bruce

i had an image of a very bright orange kite in a blue sky with cloud streaks.  When I selected the sky using "select blue" and refined it almost all of the image was masked.  That shouldn't have happened.  I then tried to select on only the kite but it has long stringing flyers and that didn't do the trick because those flyers were daunting.  

So I tried to select the sky again then invert selection a got nothing, no mask but the selection was there.  I have noticed that the selection process isn't as good as before.

I am wondering if I have my preferences set wrongly

i have a MBPro 15" 2017 late.  This might be a settings issue.
