Select and mask tool acting as Eraser tool in Photoshop CC 2019

Since the last update the tool select and mask does not work properly. The tool to refine the edge acts like a eraser tool.

I instored photoshop 2017 and here it is working ok.

What can I do?

    Hi Studiovbm,

    Sorry that the "Select and Mask" tool is acting as the Eraser tool in Photoshop CC after the latest app update.

    Could you please take a look at the below possible causes and let us know if the suggestions help in resolving the issue?

    • Please check that "Shift Edge" is set to 0 in the Refine Edge menu.

    • Check that the brush size is neither very small or large.
