Quick Mask Bug found (Mac OS 10.6.8)

Hello there!
I found a bug using the quick mask while editing a layer mask.
Example:
You have a document with a layer that has a pixel mask.
Then you alt-click the layer mask to display it in black and white, to be able to paint on it for example.
If you now make a selection, while you see the black and white layer mask (eg. rectangular marquee or whatever) and then enable the quick mask mode, to modify the selection (display it in ruby mode), the red (ruby) mode displays wrong.
It will not only mask everything red that is masked (or selected, depending on your preference), but also everything from the pixel mask that is black.
This is wrong and has been different in all versions before. It makes no sense to display the layer mask in quick mask mode while editing a selection.
Usually only the selection (or mask) should be displayed in the quick-mask-color (here: red) regardless of being in the pixel layer mask or not.
I can reproduce this error in a new file. I can post a video to illustrate it, if my english is not precise enough to describe the bug.
Could you please fix it soon? Thank you a lot!
System Info:
Adobe Photoshop Version: 13.0 (13.0 20120315.r.428 2012/03/15:21:00:00) x64

Hello,
no it does not change it. But I found out what causes that bug. It's not a displaying issue. Photoshop does something it did not do earlier, this is:
My quick mask color is the same as the layer mask color.
Photoshop displays the (colored) layer mask as well when switching to quick mask (selection) mode.
Using another color makes it easier to differenciate between the layer mask and the quick mask but here's the problem:
When pressing q (to switch to quick mask mode) photoshop will not only display the quick mask, but also the layer mask in their respective colors.
But displaying the layer mask in a color overlay while already being in the b+w layer editing mode makes no sense.
Look here:
Now i set my layer mask color to magenta to make it distinguishable:
New file: Just a colored layer with a pixel mask (the center displays the transparency grid):
This is the layer mask in mask editing mode:
Now if i press Q, not even having made any selection or so, "quick mask" mode will also display the layer mask in its resp. color:
That makes no sense, because I am in layer mask editing mode and I can already see it in black and white.
Is it normal, that in quick mask mode the layer mask is displayed as a color overlay as well? I can't remember seeing this behavior earlier!
Thank you!

Quick Mask bug in CS6, Mac OS X

I have the latest version of CS6 on my Mac, OS X 10.8.x. I have found a bug where Quick Mask is not always activated when you select it. Meaning, you select Quick Mask and the proper pen, color, etc., and it won't paint in the mask (default = red). It also doesn't appear to be actually /doing/ a mask either, so I don't think this is a display/driver issue.
Anyone else see this?

There's nothing to screen-shot,
I stand by my request.
it won't paint in the mask (default = red).
A screenshot might show which Blend Mode the Brush is set to etc.
There's nothing to screen-shot, it just seems to randomly happen when I open a quick-mask and it doesn't work.
Do you trigger it via keyboard shortcut or the button in the Toolbox?

If you're running Mac OS X 10.6.6 or newer, click on the App Store icon in the Dock, go to its homepage if needed, and look at the sidebar on the right.
If you're running an older Mac OS X version, it needs to be updated or upgraded first.

Possible bug found in Mac Os X Tiger 10.4.11 in conjuction with iPod Touch

Dears,
I think I've found a possible bug in Mac Os X version 10.4.11 in conjunction with iPod Touch.
When the iPod is connected during boot, my Bluetooth hardware fails to be detected. When I restart the portable without the iPod connected, my Bluetooth hardware is recognised & activated again. It is reproduceable.
1. Attach iPod Touch before starting the MacBook Pro
2. Boot the Macbook
3. Bluetooth hardware should be rendered inoperative
Restore functionality:
1. Detach the iPod Touch
2. Reboot the portable
3. Bluetooth hardware is restarted / recognised.
Regards
Cedric

TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has. One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

Quick mask mode no longer works for Photoshop CC

I have the latest version of Photoshop CC, and the quick-mask-mode no longer functions as it should. When I try to modify an existing mask with the quick-mask-mode the highlighted read only appears on some of the photo being edited. In additions, those highlighted that do appear red only do so very slowly. This problem appeared after a recent update to Photoshop CC.
I have been using this quick-mask-mode for the last 10 years and have never seen this bug before.
I know how to check the options and my opacity is at 50%.
I use quick-mask-mode frequently and I need it to work.
Is there a setting I need to change?
It is hard to believe that I am the only one with this problem.

I'm having the same problem and I just downloaded the latest updates, which didn't seem to fix it. Here's a screen shot:
And the red just along his tricep I had to draw "blind" because it wouldn't populate the brush stroke to cover his arm until after I moved my mouse to the side of the screen. Any changes or movement on the screen is slower than molasses.

Quick masks in Lightroom

This is probably more of a suggestion about the adjustment brush/quick masks. It would be nice to be able to selectively add your to your adjustment while viewing the quick mask. We can do this in Photoshop and it works wonders in narrowing down your area of selection/adjustments. I find myself not using the adjustment brush as much as I could because it’s rather cumbersome, I end up missing lots of spots within my area, you basically have to "remember" where your gaps in your adjustment are. Just food for thought for future updates of Lightroom.
Currently running Lightroom 2.4 on PC and Mac

It would be nice to be able to selectively add your to your adjustment while viewing the quick mask.
You can paint, while viewing the overlay (quick mask, as you call it).

Adobe Photoshop Quick Mask Won't Work

I'm using Adobe Photoshop 7. I didn't feel like upgrading.
Ok. I'm trying to use the Quick Mask but it won't mask. Instead, it does a light red mask instead and it won't select anything. I deletes the mask. I can't figure out how to make it so it creates masks instead. I had found a way where if you double click the quick mask button, it will bring up that menu where you can decide what it shows. I change it and it doesn't make a difference. After I select my masked area with the light red and exit out, nothing happens. When I double click the quick mask when on another layer and click the other option, it will make the whole screen red. When I draw with the brush while everything is red, the blank area is the new mask. (Blank as in Un-Red. The brush acts as an eraser.) Please help. I asked a few of my friends and I posted on a clan forum. I also asked on Yahoo Answers. I scowered Google but couldn't find anything that matches my problem. I'm getting quite pissed because it was working perfectly dismorning. I could use the way that is working right now but it is quite irritating.

Ok. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Noel pointed out that I was supposedly ignoring answers so I decided to re-read all the posts just in-case I had missed one. I am sorry for not checking this often. I check it whenever I can. emil emil. His second post was the answer. All I had to do was push D to go back to the foreground color. I even manually went and made it straight black. Sorry for wasting all of your time. Thanks emil emil. Just to answer the additional questions,
Bill Hunt. I was trying out different colors ranging from straight black and straight white to random colors.
MTSTUNER. Here is what happens. Obviously behind I had it inverted so, it had something to do with the brush...
Noel Carboni. Right after I conducted MTSTUNER's test, I had not touched the colors. I went and drawn random lines using white first. Nothing showed up.
Here, I flopped them by pushing the flip over/switch button.
It started doing the usual..
Sorry guys. I feel kinda like a jerk. I didn't fully understand what emil was talking about. Plus, I think I was multi tasking. Talking to some people about finances. My appologies. But, thank you all for trying to help. I really appreciate it.

No red in my Quick Mask?

After making my selection using the Quick Selection Tool, then Refining Edges, I need to further manually refine my fringes. I choose the Quick Mask Tool and nothing turns red- just white. I have reset all of my tools to their defaults & checked my black & white swatches & opacity levels, and all seem to be right on. I can paint red using the Quick Mask Tool, but it won't turn either the Masked Area or Selected Area red (even though my Tool Options show red) once I enter the mode from creating the mask. I'm just trying to refine my selection using the tool but it's almost like it won't turn on. What am I missing or what do I have set wrong?

Omg, I found it guys, thanks anyway!! Took me forever to figure that out....
I clicked on "Channels" on the Layer List and found that the "Background copy Mask" was not being shown. Turned it on, and RED Masked Area! Woohoo!

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.

Quick masks created in Photoshop CC are not recognised in Quark?

When I create a quick mask in Photoshop CC, it does not appear as a clipping option in Quark. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hey, there's no repsepct due by default.
See for yourself; apply a quick mask, then check the channels pallete.
Well, in case Photoshop's Quick Mask mode had changed, I took your advice, although I already knew how it works. Again, Quick Mask is an alternative view mode to facilitate the editing of a selection (mask). Yes, with a selection active, you type "Q" (or click the Quick Mask button, which by the way, has a descriptive hover-activated tool tip: 'Edit in Quick Mask mode' which seems to back up my claim), and indeed an "alpha channel" appears. The temporary channel is the very vehicle of the Quick Mask mode, turning the active selection into a rubylith-like, paintable mask for viewing/editing purposes. See for yourself; exit quick mask, then check the channels pallete. The Quick Mask channel disappears. It is only saved with the image if you perform a Save to PSD while in Quick Mask mode, and presumably, only to be reinterpreted by Photoshop when the native format is reopened. If you have had an experience in which it could be found and used by Quark for clipping, then you enjoyed an unintended benefit, which for any number of reasons has now ceased to be happenstance.
Please tell me how you would achieve an anti-aliased clipping path; applied in Photoshop CC which can then be interpreted by QuarkXpress.
A saved "alpha channel" should do the trick, but saving while in Quick Mask mode isn't intended to do that for the purposes of other apps. With your selection active, choose Select > Save Selection.

Quick Mask Icon

I just found out about the "Quick Mask Tool" in CS5. I didn't know about it since it didn't appear in the tool bar on the left hand side. I can't seem to find it anywhere. I know that the shortcut is "Q", but when using the tool bar icon, there are some other selections that can be made. I know this only from a tutorial that I am watching. The person giving the tutorial only references the quick mask icon, but not how to get it to appear in the tool bar.
Please help

Just to make sure: You are using Photoshop, not Photoshop Elements?
Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

Bug Found and Fix Found Creative ZEN XFI Style 32 Gig

9Bug Found and Fix Found> Creative ZEN XFI Style 32 Gig?Hello I was having problems getting my MP3 TAGS to show up on a number of my MP3's.
Whenever I loaded my files onto my ZEN it would show up as a Voice under Recordings.
And the file name would be "MIC and the date file created etc..."
I noticed that these files where all starting with the letters MIC at the front of the filename...
For instance: Michael_Jackson_Thriller.mp3?? or? Michael_W_Smith_Let_it_rain.mp3
and so on and so on... ANY file that started with the letters M I C? would be thrown in as a voice recorded file and the TAG would not operate.
I have the latest Firmware on my MP3 Player.
The fix was just to change the file name so it did not start with MIC... so i went and switched Michael Jackson to M.Jackson and also switched Michael W Smith to M W smith.
The tag showed up appropriately and I have had no problems since.
It would be nice if there was another Firmware update so that MP3's could start with the letters MIC also I was hoping to bring awareness to this situation for other users.

=Re: Bug Found and Fix Found> Creative ZEN XFI Style 32 Gig?I did three methods of?loading the files.
I used Windows Media Player to sync the files.
I used Creative Central to transfer the files.
These two methods produced results where the file starting with MIC turned into a voice recordings.
I also had problems just copying and pasting the files (using windows explorer).
I have not had any problems with any other file. I normally use MP3Tag to tag my files.
However i even tried using Windows Media to tag the file and I even tried using Creative Central to tag the files.
I tried as many work arounds as possible. But once i renamed the file it worked.
