Last update of ps 2020 there are problems with select and mask. Cannot display selection preview. When I select before I go into select and mask it shows right. When I adjust it will not show my adjustments. But when I step out of select and mask, adjustments are made. I have no control over what is selected.

Hi, you should open your CC app, in order to update Photoshop to 22.4.2, as it fixes this problem: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/fixed-issues.html

If you do not see an update, go to help>search for updates.

The new version 22.4.1 doesn't work either. I also found that just 22.3.1 works.

Hi Darren, 

I just dropped down one version to 22.3.1 and it seems to work fine.

I'd be curious to know if the new version 22.4.1 fixes the problem.

I have the same issue. Which older version did you manage to get working?

Thanks Siciliana.  I actually tried this a couple of hours ago and you are right, everything works fine again - it was driving me crazy, I am pretty new to Photoshop and thought I was doing something wrong.  Not sure how such a basic feature as this has become broken.

I installed an older version of 2020 and that has worked. It does not have the newer features but at least I can use it.

I went back and installed an older version in order to get work done. No problems with the older version.

I am having the same problem.  When I make adjustments to the layer mask the large preview is not updated, although the small thumbnail on the right hand panel does reflect the changes.  However, when I close and reopen the mask the changes I've made have actually been applied.

I have tried turning off graphics processor but makes no difference.

I am running a 2019 MacBook Pro

Yeah, it's happening with me too and this is the only instance I can find someone mentioning it. I think it's safe to say that it's a new problem seeing as we're both here on a year old post
