No brush in Select & Mask

Question

After using the brush in S&M for hours, it got erratic. So thinking that I had done something wrong, I shut PS, rebooted and reopened. No brush function. Brush does work with paintbrush tool in regular workspace.

I tried pressing Alt and cancel in SM to reset--no help.

I'm using 26.1--updated yesterday. Windows 11 on a Dell XPs 16.

Dear @Aleke

I've unrestricted the google doc and provided a screenshot. You may laugh, but I'm not sure how to"tag" you.

Thanks for your help.

Hi @lanecito!

Thanks for sending the screenshot! Could you try unchecking the Show Original box in the top right corner? That might cause the app to display the original, unedited picture instead of the one you’ve modified.

I notice in the System Info you shared that you are using 2 GPUs. If the first option doesn't work, can you try following the steps in this article to set up the best performance possible for your GPU? Head here for the steps you can follow: https://adobe.ly/3CBnXK1

Let me know if that does the trick! If you want to tag me, just write @Aleke, and I’ll be notified when you reply.
