I am getting this strange Red Mask in PS 2023. 

 

I run a Action that do Luminosity Masking. 

 

When I click on the Layer, the photo becomes all Red Mask and I didn't do any Quick Mask.

 

In PS 2021 and PS 2022, I did not get Red Mask when I click on the Layers after doing this Action.

 

Need help. Thanks.

yes, you're previewing the channel in the Channels panel.

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Channels, Options Bar, …) visible? 

Are you in Quick Mask Mode (see Channels Panel)?

What happens when you uncheck the visibility of the Channel »Midtone 06«?
