Hi:

 

    I'm not sure which mode I'm in. Whiling I'm editing this Picture, (I may press Q or COM+Q) I get into this mode. No tool bar but look at the pictures. When I quit and open the image again, it's still in this Mode. Any help? 😞

Press the tab key to get the tool bar back. press the q key to take it back out of quickmask mode.

Hi, 

       I did not try Tab Key but the Q key.  It will just switch from quick mask mode to normal mode.  Just try Tab Key. it works!!

Hi there,

Could you please try switching or resetting the workspace and see if it helps? https://helpx.adobe.com/in/photoshop/using/workspace-basics.html#save_and_switch_workspaces


If that does not help, then try resetting the preferences of Photoshop.

Note: Make sure that you back up all your custom presets, brushes & actions before restoring Photoshop's preferences. Migrate presets, actions, and settings

Hi:

 

    Thanks for your help!! I did not try the Workshop but resetting. It works well. Just do not want to reset every single time. 

 

    Best!!
