Select subject has been improved in a recent update but now misses small artifacts along the bottom edge of the frame. They are small but large enough to affect the resulting image.

Select Subject is not seeing those bits as part of the subject. The easiest way to fix this is to add to the selection with any of the Selection tools.

Shift plus using a selection tool adds to the selection
Option (Alt) plus using a selection tool subtracts from the selection

Try Shift plus drag with a marquee or lasso tool

Thanks very much Jane.

I have been creating a mask and using the brush tool on the spots.

In the past there have been similar bugs with select subject leaving a line at the bottom of the image, so I expect it’s a bug they will be able to fix.
