When I click on my image. I get this strage mask that prevents me from editing it. Closing the program and opening it back doesn't work. It still comes up with this mask covering everything. Does anyone know how to remove it?

Correct answer ExUSA

I found it. You have to deselect the brush tool.


That's the selection brush, and yes sometimes you'll see an indication when you have a specific tool selected (another example would be the crop tool, where you would have the crop indicators showing.)

If you press the Q key does it go away? If not, look at the Channels panel and see if the RGB composite channel is selected.

Hi, 

 

That's not it. When I try to remove one of the colors it changes the color of the objects in have in the image. And I can't

un-select RGB.
