Can't get out of Channel view

[EllaMaeMoonshiner]

Hello everyone.

I can't get out of my channel view, for some reason. I was saving some selections, then I went to open the channels pane, and my main artwork isn't showing up anywhere. - only the channels.

Could you post a screen shot including the Channels panel?

Looking at your layers panel, that is your main (and only) artwork layer.

Try stepping back in history and see where it changed

Click the RGB channel in the panel.

[EllaMaeMoonshiner]

Thanks everyone. So here's the channels panel. No RGB channel - just these three

[D Fosse]

Huh. It almost looks like you've deleted the color channels. What image mode is the file in? RGB? Multichannel?

[EllaMaeMoonshiner]

It was on multichannel which is weird. So I just chose CMYK but I still don't have my artwork back

[EllaMaeMoonshiner]

And BTW: I closed the file earlier, thinking a reboot would help, so I can't go back in the history

Multichannel mode explains the channel panel, but not how you got to that point. Unfortunately if you saved and re-opened it looks like any other artwork you had within the file is gone. Do you have an earlier version saved?

Unfortunately, I don't, as I was just starting the file. Oh well, I've recreated it. Thanks for trying to help out, guys 🙂
