    photoshop refine edge radius tool will not turn on

    cteavin Community Member

      I've used the poligimal, magnetic, and good old lasso tools as well as both the magic wand and the quick selection tool and for some reason when I select the Refine Edge tool everything is selectable and workable EXCEPT the eraser and refine radius tool. (photo proof)

       

      I'm assuming I changed a setting somewhere because it was working fine before, but I have no idea what to check.

       

      1) I restarted the compuer

      2) I selected reset tools  then

      3) reset all tools

      4) I've tried every combination of tools to see if I was limited to one means of lassoing the pic

      5) I've opened various types of pics

       

      All in all, I get that darned little icon which will not let me refine the edge any further.

       

      Any suggestions?
