Photoshop turning everything RED

Hi guys,

I've turned something on and it's doing my head in. Whenever I try to move text, or a layer within the document, Photoshop moves the background layer and replaces it with a bright red colour.

Occasionally the entire image also goes bright red. It's like an 80% opacity so I can see the layers underneath.

Does anyone know what I have done here? and how to set it back?

thanks,

Phil

      Quick Mask is turned on. "Quick Mask" appears in your document's title tab.

      Quick Mask uses a red overlay to indicate areas out of a selection. It's like the red film (rubylith) used to mask off areas of artwork in olden days of pre-press.

      Press Q on your keyboard to toggle it off.
