My quick mask went grayscale...how to fix?

I don't think I did anything but now when I click to add a layer mask and then the gradient tool, the colors are no longer allowed.  Someone know how to fix this?

Will everything be reset?  Plugins and brushes and such?
Not everything will be changed thing that you added will still be on you system like brushes presets actions etc.  However thing settings will be reset to Photoshop defailts like action sets you have loaded will not be loaded.  You will need to load them again.  If you installed plugin into you own Plug-in folder structure and added that folder to Photoshop preferencess you will need to edit you reset preferences and make the changes you make changes to the defaullts like adding an additional plug-in path, open images in floating windows not tabs, Things like Screen DPI resolution increase number of history states etc.
Resetting Photoshop prefences often fixes Problems when Photosho's starts acting strang like tools not working like normally.
When you click Quick Mask Photoshop overlays the image with a color overlay mask the default color is red however this is changeable. Did you by chance douple click on the quick mask icon and change the option from red to gray sometime in the past?

  • Error message "Share failed quick time error -50"  How to fix this problem?

    I cannot export to a .mp4 file using compressor without getting an error message "Share failed Quick Time Error -50.  How can I get around this problem?

    Specifically, how are you exporting to mp4? For example, using the Share menu…and if so, which of the presets?

    There is a problem with autoHeightRows and columnStretching used together in 11gR1.
    Have you tried without columnStretching?
    Or have you tried if it works in 11gr2?
    TimoHi Timo, Thank you very much for taking time to respond to my question.. :)
    Back to my question...
    I tried removing the columnStretching although my requirement really requires this but no effect really happens even if I remove this.
    Based on my investigation on the generated HTML, I notice the following items:
    1. A table is being wrapped in a div that is being set at a fixed height.
    2. On first load, if your autoheight rows is set to 6, the framework is setting a height of 96px to the div. This height would almost cut the last row of the table.
    3. If you try to refresh the page or try to re-PPR the component, the framework resets it to 102px which causes the last row to be fully displayed.
    My only concern is that IE is perfectly displaying this while Chrome and FF are having problem.
    Based on my understanding, the framework is messing up the height only on first load. Not sure but this is how I see it. I am really not confident also on my findings
    and I would most likely hear other's comment.
    Thanks.

  • Toggle composite and grayscale mask in Quick Mask mode : Problem

    Hello.
    I have a problem with this command : "Toggle composite and grayscale mask in Quick Mask mode"
    I know i have to press the tidle key " ~ " to activate it but i'm using an Azerty keyboard (belgium) and i have trouble with it.
    The only way i can use the tidle key on my keyboard is to press "Option + n" keys.
    So in Photoshop,  i load a channel  selection, turn into "quick mask mode" and then press "Option + n", but nothing happens.
    If i try with "Command+Option+n", i open the window for a new document.
    I have tried ALL combination of keys but nothing worked.
    I have also tried to change the keyboard input to Britain, Usa, etc but it still doesn't work.
    I'm using the english version of Photoshop CS6 (Subscription), and an Azerty Keyboard (Belgium) on a Mac Osx Snow leopard.
    How can i solve this problem ?

    Do you have an AltGr key on the right side of the keyboard?
    Anyway on a windows system set to your language/keyboard layout i can hold down the AltGr key while pressing the tilde key (on the right side of the keyboard up and to the right of the AltGr key)
    and that seems to work in photoshop in place of tilde key on an us english keyboard.
    Not sure what the AltGr key would be on a mac system, maybe the option key on the right side of the keyboard?
    Added:
    I don't think it will work on an english version of cs6, you probably need a localized version of cs6.
    If your on the subscrition plan you can change the language version of photoshop cs6.

  • My iphone 4 went into recovery mode for some reason and it is unable to be restored. any ideas how to fix this?

    my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?

    Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone.

    Hi,
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
    Open Console in Applications>Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying to open CS2.
