Whenever i select a mask for a subject it makes the subject go dark (this is not the mask overlay), if i come out of the mask selection the subject stays dark until i delete the mask. This is making editing very difficult. Please help

Sounds like you have Reset sliders automatically checked.

If you had Exposure set to say -1 for the previous mask, it will be applied to the next mask.

Unchecking it should fix the issue.

Hello, unfortunately that is not checked so its not that. This is also being done before any adjustments have been made. It just makes the subject darker and stays that way unless i delete it. I can obviously edit the mask but it looks terrible

I think Per meant that you should check the option Reset Sliders Automatically, not uncheck it. You might have some local-adjustment setting set that's normally hidden (e.g. a tone curve).
