P: Select and Mask Workspace preview selection tools

I am having the same exact issue and alot of my workflow relies on isolating assets and swapping views as I mask is extremely time consuming and the quality of isolation once ive even done that has degraded. how do I downgrade? and what version is last I can downgrade to to make sure I can continue my work?

Select and mask won't show your work as your using it. Only see the results once you close the select and mask work window. Contacted you guys and was told to downgrade and wait. Wondering if the issue has been fixed?

Same here. Photoshop 2021 Release 22.4.1 on MacBookPro 13" M1 with macOS Big Sur 11.3.1. After several attempts at all that was indicated in this forum (and on different computers), it really seems to be an issue related to the 22.4.x release, no matter what the OS, hardware, preferences or settings are.

Surprisingly enough, it does work as long as "Select and Mask" is activated in the first place, on a layer without any prior selection or masking. Far from being an ideal workflow, it then stops working when the function is called again, on a pre-existing mask.

As a workaround, other than stepping back to the previous release, one might click on the "Select" menu, then "Select and Mask" while pressing the Shift key: the old "Refine mask" dialog then pops up, which is still working, albeit lacking the new functions.

Bottom line: please Adobe get this fixed, as soon as possible. The new tools are great and I can't wait to use them again.

Follow-up: I tried reverting to older Photoshop versions, namely 22.3.1, 22.3, 22.2 and the problem was still there. Very strange! I also have found that if I zoom in a lot in the Select and Mask window, the Onion Skin starts appearing! If I zoom out too much then the Onion Skin disappears.

Hope this bug gets fixed soon 🤞 

Super helpful comment Dave — thank you.

Same problem here. The "real-time refinement" is greyed out in the mask editing interface and the workaround did not help.

Thank you for the additional information,

I understand Deactivating the Native Canvas didn't help and the team is looking into the problem. 

I am having this issue today, thought updating would fix it. Im now on 22.4.1 and cannot figure out how to fix this issue.

*Issue*

I'm masking out product photos, when I'm feathering, smoothing, or using the brush tool when I'm in the masking screen I can only see what changed after I hit apply. I'm not able to see the changes happen 

This is what it looks like before changing any settings:

This is after I changed the feathering to test the issue, still no changes appearing:

This is after hitting apply, I can see the feathering effect:

I'm having this same issue on Windows. Deactivating the Native Canvas didn't help. This issue seems to have started after update 22.4.
