Tool not working properly. Tried resetting tools, still not working.

 

It appears as if it's selecting, but it won't show the selection mask!

Working OK here on Windows 11. 26.5 m.2973

I've tried on human shapes, abstract and organic shapes.  Perhaps not quite so good with organic, but doing an exclent jon with people and regular shapes like buildings, cars etc.

Hi @Geskus Studios 3 testing here and it appears to be working as expected.

 

1. Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

2. It may help if we could see your Photoshop beta System Info. Launch Photoshop beta, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

 

Thanks,
