Feathering and Refine Edge Tool will not work.

I am working correctly and selecting pixels correctly, but when I try to feather or use the refine edge tool, none of the changes are saved. For $40. Adobe thinks that they can solve this problem, but after paying $2500. for the CS4 Master Suites, I think this is excessive. Is there ANYBODY out there who knows how they're going to magically obviate these issues remotely? Any clues?

I think you may still not grasp what a Selection does – but I could be wrong.
You can feather a Selection, but unless you base some operation on that Selection it has no bearing on the pixels in an image.
A Layer Mask on the other hand can be filtered or edited in the Masks Panel or …

The refine edge tool is NOT working!!

Hi everyone. I'm trying to get the refine edge tool to work. I selected my image using the quick select tool, then I click refine edge. When I move my cursor around the edge pressing the mouse button to make my adjustments the image is being erased instead of picking up the hairs. I do not have my refine edge brush set to "-", it is set to "+". I dont have anything else in the refine edge menus selected, it is at default. I even tried to enable Smart Edge and other features in the refine edge menu, but it still doesnt pick up my hairs instead it removes my "line"....very aggravating. I've used this tool before and I never had a problem....Please help with any info or advice! I've searched the entire internet and cannot find anything that resolves this issue...thx

Thank you Trevor and Noel For your quick responses.
@Trevor: I made sure that my brush was set to and not minus. Maybe I have another setting incorrectly set?? Here are pics of my problem.
@Noel: Thank you for the video, I havent watched it yet, but 'having it erase things that are already there' is kinda whats happening to my image, even though my brush isnt set to minus. I will look at the video and also will post pics of my issue in case anyone else is having this problem as well:
Here is my quick selection:
Here is what happens when I use the refine edge tool. It turns my "Areas of Transition" white:
Then my new layer looks like this:
Maybe I have a setting set wrong?? I will look at the video Noell and post any findings, thx again guys

Refined edge tool is not working

My refined edge tool stopped working. Before that it worked fine. Suddenly did not work. The magnifying glass and view dropped down window work, but none of the sliders do anything when moved. I've re-set the tool, and re-set all tools, still does nothing

Win 7. PC not Mac. No matter how fast I try to do alt ctrl shift. I do not get a reset window. However, I just found out in my programs menu I have CS6 and CS664 bit. Looks like I've been using 64 bit. when I open and use non-64bit, it appears the refine edge tool works.

Refine edge tool is not working :(

I've been trying to select some fine hairs with the Refine Edge tool, but it always ends up looking terrible. This image is my from my most recent struggle. I shot on a gray muslin backdrop and either a ton of gray bleeds through or almost no hair is selected. I've tried viewing tutorials online, used the exact same settings shown in those tutorials, and my images still look messed up. It doesn't matter what settings I use either, nothing looks natural. I seem to have the biggest problem with lighter hair, but darker colors don't look great either.
Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix it? I can't give an image to a client looking like this, but I can't really reshoot it either if the results are just going to be the same.

I've tried viewing tutorials online, used the exact same settings shown in those tutorials, and my images still look messed up.
Did the images used in those tutorials feature backgrounds that were similarly structured and bright (in relation to the foreground) as yours?

The Refine Edge tool does not work when I want to make a dramatic effect

hi I am using photoshop for ipad, but i think that i used wrong Refine EDGE Tool. Can you Help me?

Hello there!
In the tutorial for How to Add a Dramatic Blur, the tutorial outlines that you have to make a selection with the Scribble Selection tool. Can you perhaps post a screenshot of the selection you made, then what happens when you try to "refine the selection"?

Have you attempted a restore?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Surely the current ID and Password would work . Anyway I will see how I get on with the Device Password.
No. If you failed to turn off Find my iPhone BEFORE you upgraded to iOS 7, you will need the original Apple ID and password. If you upgraded to iOS 7 you will need this info; there is no way around this. If it is the device passcode you will need to restore your iPhone in order to reset that, which in the end will require your Apple ID and password in order to activate the phone once it is restored.
Why don't you have the original Apple ID? Where did you get the phone?

Something is wrong with your charger or cable.
If it works with another charger, then it is not the iphone

Directx 11 and now Premiere CS5 will not work.

I finally got my ATI 5770 working with Directx 11 and now Premiere CS5 will not work

I just installed what I thought was Directx 11. The latest file update I downloaded is only 9. dxwebsetup.exe from Microsofts web.
I have a Dell XPS 8100. I was on the phone with AMD/ATI, DELL, and XFX. Dell said the card was an ATI, and AMD/ATI said that ATI now just makes the chips. I tried Sapphire ATI 5770 and they didn't work, then I tried a program the took off all the drivers and I got the Dell drivers from the web, thinking that they are on OEM and with the DP Adapter, I finally got the 3rd ATI Eyefinity monitor to work. I tried Cuty of Duty and it worked for a couple of minutes. I'm not into games, but I like the three monitors for learning software. One monitor is the video training and one is the software and the other is the Internet or an ebook.
Now Premiere doesn't like anything. I tried going back to one monitor, and different resolutions. I had two monitors working at one time on this computer. I like the Time line monitor window on it's own monitor and the rest of Premiere on the left monitor.
I was reading that Premiere likes 1280 x 900. That is not a mode on the ATI 1280 x 960 or 1280 x 1024.
Could it be the latest Directx it installed or the fact the Display Port is in the card?

What do you mean by "my ipods internet doesnt look how it should"?

I upgraded from leopard to lion and my epson printer will not work. I get a communication error

I upgraded from leopard to lion and my Epson printer will not work. I get a error message comunication error. What can Ido to fix this I bought a new USB cord and it did no good.

I suddenly had the same thing happen. I've had my new iMac for 3 months and at first my Epson Artisan 50 worked okay then yesterday I started getting the same error message other people on this support site have gotten. I tried ALL the advice given (deleating the Epson files from the library folder, etc. reinstalling older software) and nothing worked. With the newest iMac (and operating system) you cannot pick and choose which version of Epson software you want. You must use the 10.8 version or it simply will not open when you've downloaded it. Finally I found the comment above by den.thed and tried the OS X Mountain Lion: Reset the printing system suggested. As much as I hated to lose all my printing presets that took a lot of expiermentation to set up, I was desperate. I tried it and it worked. Now I just have to consult my old computer and try to recreate all my printing set ups. So to others with Epson / Apple 10.8 issues this may help when everything else fails. Thanks den.thed for your advice.
