While there are a number of ways to open Select and Mask, whenever a selection tool is selected, the Select and Mask button is available in the toolbar. With each new tool or set of tools that Adobe introduces, particularly if we lose a tool with which we are familiar, there are bound to be issues. So let’s take a look at how we should be using Select and Mask before forming any conclusions.
Select and Mask is designed to provide “the same functionality as Refine Edge in a streamlined way,” according to Adobe. The major new feature, Select and Mask, is introduced as the replacement for the Refine Edge panel. Other changes in the 2017 release, such as the new search panel (cmd/ctrl+F), the design and Adobe Stock templates, support for SVG Open Type fonts, and new Creative Cloud Libraries capabilities seem more aimed for new users and designers. (Don’t worry, I have a solution for you.) The other addition, which can be quite useful, is the ability to adjust each eye independently when using Liquify > Face-Aware Liquify > Eyes. And one of these, Select and Mask, discussed in detail in the tutorial below, has become the subject of considerable controversy. Only two additions in the new release are truly important for photographers familiar with Photoshop. With the Photoshop CC 2017 release, both camps seem to have found something to discuss. Photographers with the Creative Cloud subscription for Adobe Photoshop anticipate, and sometimes dread, the big new-name version releases that Adobe engineers have prepared.
