Cannot invert layer mask after upgrade

I just tried a different image and do not have the issue. Something has probably gone corrupt in the file I was working. Thank you everyone for chiming in.

I do not know why the step fails. The action not script was able to select that layer 6 steps before high pass filter it 2.2 px and add a reveal all layer mask.  I do not know why it is red I do not see where the layer was created.  The Action then processed layer  soft and created layer skin and was able to select layer Sharp 2.2 again.  IMO Make adjustment layer should be available.

And a second hint. When I open a three layer tif with just minor edits, before any action, I get the last layer also the be red marked. This has never happened before. The background in the image is black. When on I click on any layer, the red marking "follows". Only when I double click on the layer I get the layer style window popping up and the layer marking turns grey as it normally would be.

Again, thanks for all the help!!

PeO.

It looks like you have targeted the layers content on a layer that has a layer mask and you are trying to adds a layer mask with perhaps Alt+Click on the add layer mask icon in the bottom of the layers palette. Being there is a Layer mask already on the layer Make is not currently available.

By Macro I believe you mean some Action you have. Please post it. Expanded so we can see the option recorded. The Action failed in Make Adjustment layer.  Since CS4 the has be a problem with actions wilt make adjustment layer.  These steps usually do not fail however how the play may not be the way they were recorded.  Adobe added two option to the Adjustment layer Palette the introduced in CS4.  These option work more like Photoshop Preferences and changing them can effect how  make adjustment layer steps play.  Actions and scripts have  no control or access to the options.

If you never touch these options you should be OK. leave these set as they come from Adobe.

It looks like it's stopping on creating the adjustment layer rather than inverting the mask. What type of adjustment layer is suppose to be made? Have you tried double clicking on that step to rerecord just that step?
