What to do when the Select and Mask feature isn't working?

[Olamiposi279588881k6i]

Whenever I try to use the ‘Select and Mask’ feature on my system, the application stops and closes altogether. The other tools are working well – at least, the ones I’ve used. My problem right now is with the ‘Select and Mask’ tool. Please, what do I do?

Please try to reset the preferences of Photoshop using the steps described here: 

Preferences in Photoshop (adobe.com) 

Please backup your settings before resetting the preferences. You can check: 

Preferences in Photoshop (adobe.com) 

If this doesn't help please give us more informations about your system.

Which version of Windows do you use?

Which version of Photoshop do you have installed.

Hi @Olamiposi279588881k6i, as @AxelMatt said, let's see if you have some corrupt preferences causing this.

Restore your preferences using this manual method:

Does it work correctly? 

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.  

Thank you,

Cory
