Layer mask suddenly not working, how to fix this?

Please help!
I have been using the layer mask before and it has worked fine until now. Suddenly it only paints black and white colors, not revealing or hiding as it should. I have the mask layer selected properly. I have reset the brush tool and all the tools. I have the brush mode set to normal.
I tried also the eraser, it paints black too.
I'm using Photoshop CC.

If you hold the Alt|option key when you click on the Layer Mask icon in the layers palette to target the layer mask Photoshop will display the layer mask in the images window not the composite image.  Layer Mask are gray scale channels. All you can see is the mask Black, White and Gray. Could you have Displayed the layer mask by accident. Are you sure you have the layer mask targeted to show the composite image  or could you have targeted its to show the Layer Mask instead of the composite image.

  • Layer Mask Suddenly Not Working

    Hello!
    I have been using PS 6 for several months now, with no problems; I totally love it!  I tend to do a lot of heavily composited photos, so I use layer masks a lot.  All of a sudden this afternoon, they aren't working.  I am 100% sure I am selecting the mask itself and not the layer (paint colors change to only black and white with the slider).  My opacity and flow are both at 100.  I am using just a standardsoft-edged paint brush.  I paint on back, and nothing changes. 
    What's weird is if I invert the layer mask and paint white on, that will show up.  But if I switch over to black again, it won't make anything disappear.
    I'm so perplexed by this; I've never had an issue like this before!
    Thank you for your help!

    Hi Sarah,
    Do you see the black appear on the layer mask in the Layer Panel?
    Have you checked that your brush mode is set to Normal?

  • ReCaptcha not working, how to fix this?

    Hello, I have made the contact form completely from scratch in the latest Muse update but when I access the website and try to test it gives me the following message "ERROR: An error occurred. Image verification failed. If you believe this is incorrect, please contact your system administrator or go back and re-submit the form."
    I have tried also to "listen to" the captcha and still no luck.
    URL is http://kozlica.com/drop-us-a-note.html
    Any solution to the problem?
    I think I should underline that this form has been created from scratch, it did not exist in the previous version of the site in the previous version of Muse.
    Thx

    I'm having an issue as well. I can see the reCaptcha image in Safari, but not Firefox or Chrome.

    Hi jodilynnf,
    When using Connection Doctor to see what is could be causing the issue, look for the red dots to let you know what is wrong. Then all you have to do is correct that information. You can double click on the section that is giving you issue and it will take you there. Most issues could be just password being entered incorrectly. Take a look at the article below to walk you through troubleshooting issues with Mail.

  • TS3018 my iphone4 bluetooth not working how i fix it

    hello ! my iphone4 bluetooth not working how to fix it ...thanks

    Apple does NOT accept phones sent in from another country.
    You will either need to take the phone back to the UK yourself, or mail it to someone you know there to have him or her bring it in to Apple for you.

  • I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this.

    I registered my new iPhone 5s to my usual Apple ID, however it isn't showing in my devices when I log in. I tried to register it by adding a new device, but it tells me it's already registered to a different Apple ID. I'm really not sure how to fix this. I only have the one Apple ID and the phone is brand new, purchased directly from Apple.
    When I check on the phone itself (iCloud and App Store settings) the Apple ID is correct. I'm not sure where else to check.
    Whilst setting up the phone, it prompted me to register, which I did. Then when connecting to my laptop through iTunes it prompted me again so I registered again. I even got a confirmation email to the email address associated with my Apple ID that the registration was successful.
    How can I add my iPhone 5s to the list of devices on the correct Apple ID?
    Thanks in advance for any advice.

    The phone usually can hold 24 messages before the voicemail is full, but now I have only 21 and it's saying it's full.
    I think your Voice mailbox goes by time, not # messages, so if one or two of the messages is longer, then it would be "full" faster.
    Go to youmail.com and follow the directions to set up youmail.
    Just curious - why do you need to save 20+ messages?  Once I deal with them, I delete them.... and I rarely have more than one or two \saved messages....

  • My text layer mask is not working when I test it

    My text layer mask does not appear when I test the movie. The
    mask works move the key along the timeline, but when I test the
    movie nothing shows up. I'm doing exactly the same thing I do when
    I mask images. I actually imported an image to the text layer and
    the mask worked correctly. What am I doing wrong?

    provide a link the fla - make sure your text layer is truly
    linked to the Mask layer. What is the
    font? Did you try breaking apart the font until it becomes
    raw shapes? not that you want to do that
    but save as with new name - try it and if it still doesnt
    work, then the issue is not with your font.

    When I try and open open a certain app,it won't open and just flickers and won't do anything, does anyone know how to fix this ?

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
