Hello, I have problem with my masking technique. I did some masking on image bellow, it look okay but when I turn mask off I can see that original picture is destroyed. Any ideas what am I doing wrong? I did Select subject, then Select and mask and all other work was done in this mode ...

Apparently you did output to »New Layer with Layer Mask« so it is technically not destructive, because the original Layer still exists. 

But on that new Layer the decontaminated pixels are indeed different than in the original.

Do you mean the edges of the hair? 

If so I supsect you used »Decontaminate Colors« and, if necessary, you need to insert those areas from the original image.
