I have seen numerous threads on this but no way to actually fix and and fix it so it never comes back.

Not sure if this is another one of your so-called "improvements" but it is annoying and it takes time because once I insert the mask into another document I have to redo the mask all round the edges of the selection. I mean c'mon!!! Please tell me this is a bug and not a thing.

It is always like this. I have to update every few days and every update breaks something. As it is, the new photoshop version I just downloaded is positively the worst ever. Things that I used to do easily are now near impossible.

My versin is 26.3 and it is the very worst ever. Took me four hours to do something that I thought would take a few minutes because everything is broken.

Vew my attachment to see what I mean. I mean for the love of god PLEASE TELL ME WHY YOU DO NOT TEST THINGS BEFORE YOU DUMP THEM ON US. AND I AM USING A GOOD GRAPHICS PROCESSOR.

I had to finally abort. Like why are you trying to gaslight us into thinking these improvements are necessary or even remotely good?

Yes, it is a photoshop question. Version 26.3

No, this was not always a thing. Yes, it worked perfectly... for a little while.

Any idea why this is happening? It is very annoying to say the least because you have to remember to clean up the edges in Mask mode. I have seen complaints about this going back to 2018 but no answer. BTW, everything about this 26.3 version sucks. It's like you are fighting tooth and nail against some sort of AI bot who will not allow you to do the simple thing.

Like when I want to get out of selection mode and use the move tool.... NOPE CAN'T DO IT UNLESS I SHUT DOWN THE PROGRAM AND START OVER.

I mean seriously, what is this? I have NVIDIA 3080 and XPS 8950. I could understand if I was using my old laptop. I had to abandon that convenience. But your ability to ruin this program vastly outtpaces my ability to keep up. I guess I need to spend ten grand on a computer to keep up with the changes.

So before I waste more time uninstalling and reinstalling. Is there a fix for this or not? Like some setting or other.

OK, we will try this again. However, I already kmow the answer is to roll back to 26.1. But please do not force us to upgrade ever again.

My attachment is gone because it contained the offending word. Mother may I please have an answer to my question without it? Had you not completely deleted it, I would have renamed it. Now it will be a week before I can get back to reposting it because I do not have access to the computer. Talk about a bunch of snowflakes. Can't handle the truth about what people feel about these increasingly frustrating products.
