<div class="IPBDescription">ugh</div> First off I know this should probably go in the art forum but I know i'll probably get more answers here. Anyway:

So my brush has suddenly decided to go into some sort of alpha map mode. Everytime I use the brush with the color black the color red appears and when I use white it acts like an eraser. I must've put some sort of property on the brush for this to happen. I can't select any other color than red, any other color doesn't matter - the only thing that changes is with the lightness of the brush - darker adding to the color and white removing it. help!

    Not that I like the pink, but how do you skin PS like that?

    I didn't, it's my Windows XP theme.

    ok it's something to do with quickmasks - Every time I select a layer it goes into some sort of mask mode. I can't seem to turn it off unless I go > new layer. But then once I switch layers again it goes back to the mask mode. ARG! Thanks for trying jimmeh but that's not it.

    PLAN A: Q?
    PLAN B: get some famsauce up in here

    *edit* Reading your last post, the post above mine, I am now inclined to believe that you cannot actually turn it off. Well, I guess I suggest reinstalling and seeing if anything's fixed? :-D

    PLAN C: Reinstall

    yea I looked that up to. Clicking them selects the brush strokes I was trying to make. and... yay! ok well clicking them in frustration seems to have somehow stopped the quickmask thing from comming on.

    Thanks everyone. nothing to see here - move along.

    Yeah, that's the quickmask, you use it to be able to specify selections more accurately by using your ordinary brushes, filters, whatever. Comes really handy at times.

    While we're answering Photoshop questions, why the frick can't I make my magic wand to select with anti-aliasing? I have the Anti-Aliased option checked but it still won't work.

    for future reference, alt+ctrl+shift when starting the program is a godsend at fixing PS issues (give the option to delete the preferences file, which is a source of many problems)

    Forget brushes. Just add lens flares, and lots of 'em. This is Photoshop. It was made for the flaring of lenses.

    while we're on the topic, does anyone know how to select stuff in layers in ps cs2 like in ps cs1.. in cs1 you could control click a layer and it would make a nice selection on the objects itself in the layer.. control clicking in cs2 does something weird :/
