Refine Edge brush Missing

[TTLPHOTO82]

Hello,

While following Nick Page's tutorial (https://youtu.be/YxOYHYDPKV), I have noticed my refine edge brush is missing. Any one have a solution? 

Thanks

@kglad moved your post to the Photoshop Developers forum by mistake, proving that the forums are indeed hard to navigate. You are not a developer and this is not a developer question. I've moved your post to the Photoshop forum for you.

You have the Refine Edge tool selected. It's the second one down in the toolbar. The reason it's not working is that you don't have a selection marquee. If you are trying to select the parrot, try this:

• Exit Select and Mask
• Try the Object Selection tool (or other selection tool) to select the parrot
• Reenter the Select and Mask workspace.

Jane-e,

Thank you for the response. What I did was Select>Subject >Select and Mask> Refine Edge Tool (second brush down). When the subject was selected I had the "marching ants" surrounding the subject. Why the screenshot does not show that? I do not know. But on top of the other issues with PS, LRC is now not able to open PS. When attempting I am promted LR could  not open PS 2024. 

I am going to uninstall PS and reinstall it. Hopefully this will work. If not I amy have to use a different software.
