FWIW. Refine edge still exists in the new release of PS. Instead of hitting the Select and mask button. Make your selection first then goto the select menu, hold shift and hit Select and mask. The old refine edge dialogue appears. ... View more

Too prove your theory, "which I believe is right," why not exit the cc app and start PS without it and see what happens. ... View more

The only problem I experience with 2017 is select and mask. I just use the old refine edge and it still works. Select menu, Shift Select and mask. ... View more

Am finally getting used to working with Select and Mask. Their still working on it but I'm my opinion it needs a lot of work;) In the mean time I took a jump backwards when Select and Mask came to be and re-learned to use channels and calculations. Anyway, here's hoping they make it a whole lot better. Remember, you can get back to the old refine edge by using the menu and shift. ... View more

Too bad though. Adobe could really make a name for themselves by standing by their products, old and new. And it would gain them a lot of respect and revenue. Too bad they don't use the brains they were given!!! ... View more

The brush is performing the way it's suppose to from your settings. Starts out at almost nothing, builds up than fades out again. I need to spend some more time in the brush panel to try and get a grasp on what each item does. Made a few brushes in the past but stumble through creating them. ... View more

It looks like your brush is set to fade in, meaning that until you click and move it won't draw. Try choosing a default round brush and see if it corrects the problem. ... View more

Than why if I close photoshop does my task bar begin hiding again no matter what program I have at full screen. As soon as I open PS, the taskbar refuses to minimize. Also several other PS users have noted the same, with or without anniversary update. Am not running anniversary update and it happens on mine also. Windows taskbar don`t hide in the full screen mode! ... View more

SSD's do cost more than pennies/MB , but currently a second copy of Photoshop is the only solution for people desperate for Refine Edge again. I only suggest it as a disrupted workflow can be expensive for people and rather assumed that people will take a performance hit by using a standard hard disk -hope your problems with S&M have settled down. I was just agreeing. As far as my experience I'm used to Select and Mask and hope the next patch is even more stable. I do need to update my video card even though adobe says it meets the requirements. just waiting for adobe to update their list of cards. And winning the lotto would help too;) ... View more

Terri Stevens wrote: Hard disk space costs pennies these days. I would have thought anything that helps your work flow would be considered useful? You only need one other version of Photoshop for refine edge to be available. As I said to Olivia it is always best to keep your existing version of Photoshop when a major update comes out, that way you are not inconvenienced with having to learn new features when on a deadline. Terri, you are right, HDD's do cost pennies. But I'll bet some of the people complaining have made the switch to SSD's which come in sizes of 256g, 500, and 1tb. Usually if you buy a system with one it's only 256g which leave little breathing room. Am just saying that the people complaining, "not me," may only have the 256g SSD. Either that or they have full HDD's, time for spring cleaning!! ... View more
