I've checked Mode and grayscale isn't checked. I'm still in RGB. I'm on a mac using Photoshop CS5 and, if it helps, I was trying to do a screen shot using cmd+shift+4 and must have hit the wrong key somewhere...

Correct answer Howard Pinsky

Hi, Mandi_Miles.

You may have switched Channels, with the Command + 3, 4 or 5 shortcut. Command + 2 should switch back to RGB, or you can check in your Channels panel. Make sure RGB is selected.

I hope that helps!

Thank you very much. I made a shortcut mistake and Command 3 got me out of Photoshop Hell : )

Somewhat related... I hit Shift-5 instead of Shift-F5 (on a Mac) and ended up with 50% translucent checkerboxes over my image. Apparently Shift-1 to Shift-0 are varying degrees of checkerboxes... with Shift-0 being the solution to getting out of this.
