Why doesn’t the new refine edge in ACR support ‘select object’ masks?

It’s a good question. I don’t know the real answer, but my guess is those features are so new that they want us to poke at them and find any issues in this initial limited implementation before they start propagating these new options to other mask types and then over to Lightroom. 

By the way, in the future this type of question might be better asked over in the Camera Raw forum. That could be why people got confused here, thinking it had to do with the masks in Photoshop, where Feather has already been in mask Properties for some time and both have existed in the Select and Mask dialog box for many years.

Also, the thread title might have confused people because there is no feature labeled Refine Edge in Camera Raw/Lightroom. That’s a feature of the Select and Mask dialog box in Photoshop.

SORRY….I just realized I was not specific in my posting that I was talking about the new refine mask in ACR

If you go into the Select and Mask workspace, which you can do from any mask, you can refine the edge from there.

Hey, @jrsforums. Welcome to the Photoshop Community. We'll need more info to help you figure this out.

Please share more details, including the Photoshop version, operating system information, screenshots, and video recordings of what you see.

At this point, the given information is insufficient for me to assist you.

Thanks!

I love the addition of edge/feather for AI masks, such a people, landscape, sky, etc.  why is it not available for ‘select object’?
