I'm starting to get into the habit of when I create a 'Select Subject' mask of reviewing it with different overlays (love these). Some corrections to the selection are obvious. Others are not. In some cases, the overlay exposure/luminance is lighter in some areas.

I guess my question is that in addition to having to add and subject from the selected subject, should I also be using a brush to increase the exposure/luminance so it is more solid?

Here's an example. From creating a Select Subject Mask and changing the overlays.

Are you satisfied with what you see? Then the mask is fine.

Thanks Johan. That is what I'm doing however my question, with this new feature, is understanding the 'tweaking' that may be needed once the subject is selected.

There are different ways of doing that, depending on what needs to be tweaked. In your example, there is quite a bit of green background that is selected, so that may have to be subtracted from the mask. If the boat does not contain green (I can't see that because of the overlay), then you could try to subtract a color range mask. Brushing is always possible, but may not be your first choice because it is also tedious.
