Hi - I am still a newbie I was using the brush mask to make my pictures whiter and when I press O it would show dark pink. I think I did something by mistake becuase the pink is very pale. How do I fix this please.

Check the brush settings e.g Flow. When using a lower setting you must keep brushing to build up the effect. When set to 100 only single strokes are required.

O is the keyboard shortcut to toggle the Overlay on/off.

The overlay color is only a visual indicator of the area you have brushed. It does not modify or change photo edits.

[Shift+O] will toggle the color of the overlay- Red<>Green. (yes, the red/green color is faint)
