I,ve watched a couple videos about using the refine edge tool to do quick selections. In the videos a qiuck selection is drawn with a lasso, refine edge is selected, set on overlay, then it is run over the selected area. the brush leaves a trail of red and when the mouse button is released the red disappeaars and the selection snaps to the ragged edges.
But when I try it I leave a trail on black which just sits there, not giving me anything to work with.
what I,m talking about can be seen at the 6;10 mark on the this video
what am I doing wrong?

Based on the information you provided, I have no idea what you are doing or what you are doing wrong. The video is about 5 years old but the tool work the same. So just to level set You made a selecting a pixel based layer and see the marching ants You enter refine edge and the refine edge dialog box opens You set the VIEW mode in the dialog box to overlay - the red background Now you are painting with the tool in the dialog box to refine the edge Correct?  |

yes, thats what Im doing, I'll try again.
ok, it works as long as I leave the dialog box on the screen. If I hit ok after chosing the brush it does not work. So once aagain it appears I learned something.
thanks

When you click on the ok you are telling elements you are done using refine edge.
