The select/mask tool is not working correctly. When I use this feature it wipes out everything and turns the canvas white. I've never experienced this problem before. I've never actually had to select my object, the app did it form me. I read some of the discussions and tried to "reset tool" but that did nothing at all.

Can you explain steps to get everything masked. Please describe step by step how you get to what we see in second screenshot?

How do you start? Select > Subject, Object Selection Tool, …?

These are the steps I take.

1. Clicked "Lasso Tool" or CTRL + L (doesn't really matter which exact tool)

2. Clicked "Select and Mask"

3. Click "ok"

*Things I've tried - Changing "Opacity", Changing to "Color Aware", Change to "Object Aware", Change "Radius", "Shift Edge" - None of these make any different, I still get the same result.

Did you actually make ANY Selection before switching to »Select and Mask«?

Did you try »Masked Area«?

Please post a screenrecording or meaningful screenshots.
