CC 2018 Select and Mask -> Refine Edge PC Hangs

Report · Feb 08, 2018

Everytime I use the refine edge brush tool in Select and Mask, the cpu and memory usage spikes on my machine and never recovers. Even after waiting for many many minutes photoshop never becomes responsive again and the only solution it to kill photoshop. I have version 19.1.0 installed.

I would really like to be able to use the Select Subject tool, and then quickly refine the edge, but to no avail. How can this be fixed and resolved?

I had the same issue and I found this that Dave posted at some point and it worked for me;

1. Go to Preferences >Performance > Graphics Processor > Advanced and uncheck Open CL. Test on a newly opened document

2. Go to Preferences and uncheck use Graphics Processor - if this works recheck it then change the advanced settings first to Basic , then normal and then advanced - testing each time on a newly opened document

I just kept mine at basic with Open CL checked and all seems to work fine. I don't do 3D stuff so all good.

Mine must be a different issue. I still have the problem with Graphics Processor turned off.

Then resetting preferences is probably your best bet.

Edit>Preferences>General and bottom right check ' reset preferences on quit ' and then close program and relaunch. If you have your workspace set up the way you like it then save it first beforehand and then you can just reload it. Window>Workspace>new workspace and name it and save it. Then you'll find it in the workspaces tab when you relaunch.

What is your computer specifications ?!

Hi Ken. It is still most likely related to your GPU despite the test you have tried. You need to make sure the video card drivers are up to date, and sourced from the card maker's website. It would help ifiy u could open Photoshop and go Help > System Info > Copy and paste to this thread.

My graphics card driver is up to date.

OK, doing some more research I used my mouse to refine edge brush and it worked two times in a row. When I switched back to my pen/wacom tablet, it hangs. I've got the most recent Wacom drivers installed... have found some other threads with people moving back to an older version of the wacom drivers to fix.

Report · Feb 09, 2018

Hi

I use Wacom driver 6-3-17-3 here without issues

Report · Feb 09, 2018

I should probably check to see if there's an update for mine but not likely...it's pretty old and I've had it for years.

Report · Feb 09, 2018

Hi Jodi

My Wacom driver , as above, is out of date - but it works without issue and until it starts having issues I've left it alone and not updated it. If it ain't broken - don't fix it

Dave

Report · Feb 09, 2018

Well I just fetched the latest driver and hopefully it didn't mess things up !! It's ok though as I still have the old drivers

Report · Feb 09, 2018

One of the threads I read said they backed out to an older wacom driver to fix the problem. I'm currently running 6.3.27-2, for now I'll use my mouse when using the refine edge brush and my pen everywhere else.

Report · Feb 09, 2018

Oh that sounds painful. Using the mouse with refine edge .... All the power to you !

Report · Feb 09, 2018

Well so glad you figured it out ! Yes my pen sometimes has issues as well. In liquify its shaky.
