Hi all,
I seem to have inadvertently changed a setting in Quick Mask which is causing it to not work properly. When I 'paint' over an area to copy, then invert the selection and copy it...the copied section is semi-transparent when I move it to another area of the image. I'm sure I've accidentally knocked a key which has changed settings somehow...but I can't figure out how to fix it.:o
Any help greatly appreciated (my Quick Mask days are finished until I sort it out!!).
Thanks.
Hi Dean, same problem here, no problem till last week, using CS2 tried it on a friends PC with CS3 same thing. Not sure if an Adobe upgrade has created the 'problem'. As far as I can remember I haven't changed a thing, it looks like the opacity is reduced in the copied layer.
Try pressing "D" to reset to the default FG/BG colors and reset your brush tool.
With everything as default all will work fine.

Thanks heaps Robert, will do that tonight. Hopefully it will fix the problem for Ian and myself:D. Good luck Ian.
Thanks Robert, I have tried resetting the defaults a few times with no result. Will try again, if not I will reinstall CS2.
No need to reinstall. So far over the last couple of years teching Photoshop techniques I have never come across a simple problem like this that was not a simple setting. Usually your foreground color is set to an off color when it should be black.Quote:

What do you see?
If you see anything but a solid black line you have a problem with your brush settings.
Before you do a reinstall, backup your pref and workspace and return PS to all defaults. This should do the trick.

Thanks heaps Robert...did the trick for me.
Cheers, Dean
You are welcome, good to hear, thanks for the update.
