Quick mask mode problem in Photoshop CS6 64bit

Hi, I have recently installed Photoshop CS6 after previous happy experience with CS3.
The software appears to be seizing up when editing a selection in quick mask mode (image or layer mask) under the following conditions:
- 64 bit mode
- image > screen size, especially at 100% maginification
- or image magnification adjusted whilst in quick mask
The red mask appears slowly and only where I move the mouse curser - but will not cover the entire masked area.
The software freezes, and I have to kill the process from the OS. Task manager shows its status as 'running' and memory / CPU do not appear to be maxed out.

Boilerplate-text:
Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

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 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.

No Quick Mask mode in Photoshop CC Win

My Photopshop CC for windows does not open quick mask mode when I try any of these three (Select / edit in quick mask, or hitting Q on the keyboard, or clicking the washing machine Icon) Instead it goes into and Alpha/8 or 16 mode. And I am not able to paint any masks? What an I missing? I have the latest software (last week) and use the windows version.

Usually when Quick Mask is set up properly, the selected (painted) areas are shown as 50% red. For example when you use a brush to paint your selected areas. By the way using ordinary selection tools while in Quick Mask mode will not show the red area, you must use the selection tools then go into Quick mask mode to see the red area.
To see what your Quick Mask settings are like, double-click the Quick Mask icon, and the options should look like this:
The 50% red comes from olden days when graphic designers would apply a red film called "Rubylith" to mask off areas in artwork and tailor it with an exacto knife.

Adobe Photoshop CS6 64bit version no longer shows under program

A few days ago I somehow acquired a virus on my windows 7 laptop. With virus protection software I was able to quickly identify it and delete it from my system. After I deleted the virus I noticed that my Photoshop CS6 64bit shorcut disappeared from my desktop. I even went into my computer > programs and it does not even show up there. Photoshop CS6 32bit is still there and works fine.
I was wondering should I re-install CS6 on my compter and if I do that should I de-activate my current version before I re-install?
Thanks so much for your help.
Jim Blackston

You can re-install the 64-bit version. Personally, I prefer to wipe a virus infected system clean and start over.

Doubt on quick mask mode?

Hi i have 3 layers in photoshop.
Background
layer1
layer2
Now on layer 2 i did a selection and entered into quick mask mode and then applied gussian blur. When this is done does the selection borders try to blend with the back ground or will they try to blend with the layer 1 as it is the layer just behind the layer 2. In case if there is no background, I mean if all three are layers then what happens?

Just got more confused. I do understand what do u mean by glass plates. i am not changing the order of the layers. My question is specific. The selection on the layer 2 normally will have hard edges. I want to smoothen them. So i have applied quick mask and after that i have applied blur to the selection edges. So now the edges have to blend into the background. So when i apply blur to edges of the selection on layer 2 which is above layer 1 do the edges try to blend directly with the back ground or will they try to blend with the image on layer 1 which one will it consider for blending the edges?
I have an image in the background and another image in layer 1. when i apply blur for edges on layer 2 and after that i did inverse selection and removed the selected part of the image on layer 2. So at that time we can see the smooth edges.
The following is the tutorial that led me to this confusion
http://www.photoshopessentials.com/basics/selections/feather-quick-mask/

Quick Mask mode has suddenly stopped working.

I have Photoshop CS5. I have successfully created selections hundreds of times using Quick Mask mode, but today it has stopped working. Here are the steps I am performing:
Activate Quick Mask by clicking the rectangular icon at the bottom of the tool bar.
Using the brush tool with opacity at 100%, I paint a selection. The familiar ruby-red color is there to show what I have painted.
Once I am done painting my selection, I re-click the Quick Mask button, which is supposed to convert whatever has been painted red to a normal selection, outlined with marching ants. I was doing this many times just last week and it worked perfectly.
But now, instead of seeing the marching ants highlighting my selection, I see nothing at all. The red highlighting disappears and nothing is selected. To make matters worse, at this point in the process Photoshop never fully disengages from Quick Mask mode and gets stuck there. If I click the Quick Mask icon again, my original selection reappears painted in red. From this point, I can't seem to get out of Quick mask mode and the other tools no longer function properly.
I tried resetting all preferences. When that didn't work I de-installed and re-installed Photoshop, and that didn't work either. Has anyone experienced anything like this?

Its possible you accidently hid the selections. Look in the view menu and see if selections is marked to be shown or hidden. I think it is ctrl-h or cmd-h but at the moment I don't recall. Once I boot up photoshop I can verify it.

When Place Image in Photoshop, error msg: 'Problem with Photoshop CS6 caused program to stop working

When I 'Place Image' in Photoshop, the following error msg comes up: 'A Problem with Photoshop CS6 has caused the program to stop working, close programme?'
Do I need to adjust my set-up to run this? The PC operates on a 32-bit system/Windows 6.

You need to provide much more info: What files are you trying to place into what document? What are the document sizes, resolution, color mode etc.? Anything else we should know about? This could be a million things from color profile issues to color space mismatches to the files to be placed being damaged or badly structured or a importer module being broken. Also provide exact system info and crash logs:

Hitting Q key no longer triggers Quick Mask Mode as expected

Having made a selection with the Magnetic Lasso tool, I am currently unable to enter Quick Mask Mode through triggering Quick Mask Mode and instead the selection set disappears when I hit Q.
Thanks!

CS 5 and Windows 7...I have no idea what is causing the problem but everytime I create a selection, as soon as I hit Q the selection is killed and I'm not able to enter Quick Mask Mode.

Why doesn't my Quick Mask mode work anymore?

When I try to enter Quick Mask Mode by hitting Q on the keyboard or by clicking in the icon on the tool panel, I get the words "Alpha?16" added to the end of the image title replacing the RGB. It used to say "Quick Mask/16" when I did this. Also, when this happens, the brush tool will not paint red to make a selection. Even stranger, when I deselct Quick Mask to go back to RGB, I get a marching ants line around my entire image. Help! I want my Quick Mask back. Restarting Photoshop CC and restarting the computer does not help.

Its possible that when you are doing this you have the White foreground color selected by default, you can change this with shortcut X and you should see the quick mask brush paint red as usual. I hope this helps!

Problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW

I have a new problem with Photoshop CS6. If I open a file using Camera RAW, and process it as usual, CS6 doesn't want to save it the way it used to. I don't know if I changed something by accident or not.
Here's what happens now: After opening from ACR to CS6 and completinhg all of my work, I choose "Save as..." The save as window opens showing the file name and format. The default format seems to be .PSD. I use the drop down to select .jpg. The file saves normally as a .jpg. When I go to close the image from, I get a new prompt asking, "Save changes to Adobe Photoshop document DSC_xxxx.NEF before closing?
I looked up at the file name in the bar above the work space and noticed that it does NOT change from "DSC_xxxx.NEF" to "DSC_xxxx.jpg" after I have saved the file as a .jpg,in my webesite but it always used to do that. This adds a few extra steps when closing a document and it really slows me down.
In fact, I wouldn't swear to this, but I think it used to save to .jpg by default, without me specifying this.
I don't see a setting in the preferences for what to use as the default file format for saving, so I don't know where to change it back.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Problems installing Photoshop CS6 Extended

Hello to whoever is reading this - I have a problem installing Photoshop CS6 Extended (as you can guess from the title) due to the fact that I download a pre release version of it (not the beta) And I've looked everywhere on my laptop and I still can't install the trial even though I've deleted everything relevant to the pre release version, it can't be my normal version of Photoshop CS5 can it? It'sonly occured to the Photoshop CS6 Extended trial, all the other Creative Suite trials from Adobe Download Assisstant work.

Check the start page of this forum or the PS forum. There used to be special threads listed in teh yellow info boxes with info on how to resolve these issues.
