I cannot get the select and mask workspace to show for PS CC017. If I make a selection and right click on the mask in the layers pallette, I get the small masking brush vertical bar and nothing else. I hit enter and the screen returns to normal. Same if I select "select and mask" from the menu with mask selected or unselected. I deleted preferences and get the same results. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Joie

Correct answer Martin_Bns

Hi, In order to access the new Select and Mask tool in CC 2017, you have to look up to the utility bar and you have to select one of the selection tools. For example click the Quick Selection Tool and you will see, in the upper utility bar, the Select and Mask button.
Please let me know if it's working for you.

All my best,
Martin

Martin, I too cannot get the select and mask workspace to appear on my windows 10 desktop. It works fine on my windows 10 laptop. I am going nuts with this. Could it be related to the wacom tablet I use on the desktop somehow? It is the only thing I can think of that is different between my use of the two machines. When I make a selection and click on select and mask, a properties panel opens but it is empty ... no sliders or controls or anything. Please advise. I cannot find any answers scouring the internet. Thank you.
