Hey

When I use MASK PERSON, it will not mask around the person, but makes a large square around him instead. What is the reason for this?

I'm facing exactly the same issue.

Turning "Use Graphics Processor" OFF or changing it to Custom did not fix it.

My OS is Windows 11 and my GPU is an AMD 6600XT

Unfortunately, AI masking doesn't obey the settings of Preferences > Performance > Use Graphics Processor.

@Heavymetal.dk and @PedroCSilva, most problems with AI masking are caused by older, buggy graphics drivers. Try updating your graphics driver by going directly to the manufacturer's web site:

If that doesn't help, please copy/paste here the entire contents of the LR menu command Help > System Info -- that will let us see exactly which versions of hardware and software LR thinks you're running.

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

If Lightroom doesn't start correctly the please see "Solution 2" in the document behind the second link.

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:
