I'm doing some photo editing of a HDR combined photoshop file. I have a layer mask of my buildings. I copied the layer, now i'd like to invert the mask so that I can immediately start fiddling with the sky.

How do I invert the layer mask? I'm in 32-bit mode right now. CS3

    hmm... crtl shift i inverts a selection... sorry.

    to do a mask, select the mask, press q (quickmask) then select image> adjustments> invert.

    failing that, try resetting your preferences:

    No, nothing happened :S

    Incase it means something, doing other commands sometimes gives me a pop-up dialog box mentioning a "program error". I can't recreate the problem at the moment...
