Hi,
I am new to photoshop.
I would like to preview a mask, so I select the level, I hover over the small preview press alt+click, but nothing happens.
What should I do?
Thanks

Hi Enrico
Did your mask have some content? i.e. areas of black and areas of white.
You can see the levels Adjustment layer which is half filled with black. The black hides the effect of the adjustment layer. The white reveals it.
If I hold down the Alt key and click on the layer mask, it shows the mask contents in the image window.

We need topp see a screen shot of your entire workspace.
It needs to be full res, and show the layers and Propertie panels
Have the layer with the layer mask selected.
I think you are using Windows, so you can use the Snipping Tool to make the screen shot
Use the insert photos widget at the top of the window and paste the screen shot to it.

Hi, here is a snapshot.
As you can see I selected the layer, then properties, then Masks, at that point the mask icon in the layers panel got framed in white.
I hovered on the icon, I pressed alt and right clicked, but nothing happens
