I have photoshop 21.2 and I was trying to practice the new remove background and select subject tools.

When I go to use the refine brush it starts taking things away.  I dont know if a setting is wrong or if its my computer.  Please help. I have a Mac desk top I've posted a screen shot .

Hi there, 

 

Sorry that the Refine Edge and Select & mask tool is not working correctly in Photoshop 21.2 as refining the edges is removing the image content. 

 

It seems that a setting in the Refine Edge tool is not set correctly. To ensure that the Refine edge is causing the issue, just before clicking on Refine edge, it can be useful to enter Quick mask for a quick visual indication of how well you have done with Quick Select.

 

Checkout this article to know more about Select and Mask workflow: https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/select-mask.html

 

Let us know if that helps.

 

Thanks,

Akash
