Hey. I have a weird issue with Photoshop, could I ask you guys for some help with it?
I have the impression the quick mask tool has, erm, well… has broken. Either it’s a Mandela effect and I’m remembering wrongly how it should be working, or I’m not mistaken and something is wrong with the way it’s working for me now.
The way I think I remember it, and the way I think it should be working: I open an image, prop up the quick mask, paint the areas I want with my paint brush, exit the quick mask, those areas are selected, the end. Or I would select all before running the quick mask, and the areas I paint would be the only ones not selected.
The way it’s working now… it’s confusing to me, frankly.
I captured a photoshop session, here’s what it looks like, you may want to click to have the video in fullscreen rather than embedded in the post:
I found only one settings panel for the quick mask, and toggling both available options won’t change the issue, I can’t work on an image, just open it and immediately use quick mask to paint areas, I first need to select a smaller part of the image to exclude/include parts into it.
I must ask you: am I becoming mad, or has the quick mask, really, gone bad?
And of course, would you know how to revert it to normal?
Thanks if you can help ^^

No, it’s working as usual. The only difference is… well, your brush’s foreground color while in QuickMask mode is white, which indicates unmasked portion of the layer.
QuickMask mode relies on greyscale colors to indicate how much masking is done to the layer selections; black = 100% , #808080 = 50%, white = 0% / unmasked.
If this issue happened with the default brush color, try pressing ‘D’ to set it back to the default, as in black as foreground and white as background
Edit: If this issue happened with the *current* brush color, try pressing ‘D’ to set it back to the default, as in black as foreground and white as background

So that was just that? I would never have found, I was sure the brush was OK.
I tested, and it works.
Thank you so much Athros!! I’m grateful, really
First comment here to say that, athros is right, your colors were mixed up while in Quick Mask Mode
Go figure why, but it’s something I would have never suspected. I tried just hitting D to force being back to defaults while in quick mask, as Athros suggested, and it worked.
Man, that was driving me nuts and making me lose far too much time, not just with hentai.
Thank you too, Funsch! ^^
