Somehow, when I use my TEXT tool to type on a JPG and click on it, The entire JPG turns red. I can't figure out how to get the TEXT tool back to being a normal text tool. 

 

HELP! You can email also at militarybooks at sbcglobal dot net. 

 

Thank you.

Thanks! It was the Task Mask option selected. I am not a photoshop guy other than a few basics. 

 

THANKS!
