Select and Mask not Selecting

   I'm having an issue with selecting and masking subects using the select and mask tool. Usually I'm able to highlight my subject then refine the mask using the refine edge brush tool. Now when I move my mouse pointer away from the subject the mask goes away and I'm unable to refine my mask selection. Please see the attached video to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.  Photoshop Version 24.2. MacBook Air M1 16GB MacOS Ventura 13.2.1

Have you tried setting the Opacity of the Overlay-color to 50%?

Try turning off Object Finder (it's above your canvas).

Object Finder doesn't appear to be the issue.  See the attached video to see how I tried your suggestion.

Hi, It might help to know that I'm a fellow Photoshop user volunteering my time to help other users, and this is a user-to-user forum. Adobe employees have the Adobe logo over their profile pic, and their status shows that they are an Adobe Employee.

 

I copied your image and was able to use Select and Mask on it.

 

Have you tried the following:

 

If those don't work, then you might try contacting Adobe Support:

Both of the screen recordings I posted show the properties panel? Is there something I'm missing or did you not view the screen recording yet?

I watched the videos and I asked you to post screenshots that illustrate the »View Mode« you chose. 

Have you tried a Mode like »Overlay« after clicking »Select Subject« for example?

I apalogize, the color swatch actually indicates you are using »Overlay« but you set the Opacity to 0%.
