Question

Select & Mask shifts the selections

Hello!
I'm fairly new to Photoshop and am trying to practice.
I've used the select and mask tool several times without any problems, but today it's giving me trouble. When I use it, it selects what I want, but shifts it.
Any ideas on how to fix this?

 

Thank you in advance!

Hi @29406658, welcome to the community!
What version of Photoshop are you using? I want to understand whether this is only a visual glitch and the mask itself is actually correct, or if the mask is truly shifted.
If you are on Windows, make sure your GPU drivers are fully updated. If you are on a Mac, please ensure your macOS is updated to the latest version.
If the issue continues, please share your system info. You can find it in Photoshop under Help > System Info. Just copy everything into a text file and attach it to your reply, or you can share it with us through Google Drive, WeTransfer, or any other file sharing service that works for you.
Thanks so much!

Hi,
thank you for reaching out!
I am using Photoshop Beta, 27.4.0
I can share the System Info later, when I'll reach the Mac.

Thank you in advance,
