photoshop quick mask question?

[amade0]

I'm not sure how I managed to do this o.0 but somehow I turned on the quick mask in photoshop CS - and whenever I wanted to add a text on my graphic the picture turns red and its driving me insane o.0;; anyone know how I can take it off? ^^;

[Cannella]

I use Photoshop CS2 and I turn on and off the quick mask mode hitting "shift+Q".
Otherwise, in the tools palette there are two little rectangles with a circle inside (see picture): if you want to work in 'standard' mode click on the left one, click on the right one if you want the 'quick mask' mode.
Hope it helps. ^^

I'm using this thread for a mine problem *can I?*.

With my Photoshop CS2 keyboard shortcuts doesn't work. Why?

You can go to 'Edit' --> 'Keyboard shotcuts...' and see if there are any shotcuts active, because Photoshop allowes you to save your own shortcut sets but sometimes it messes with your customizations. ^^;
(This is also a good way to know which shortcut do what. ^^)

Thx for replying. I've checked; almost all the functions are marked with a keyboard shortcut, but anyone works neither on XP or Vista. Do you know why?

I really have no idea, that was the only think I could think of...
Photoshop is a beautiful but mysterious program. ><

Did you try resetting your shortcuts back to the defaults first? For some reason mines will reset itself on it's own and then I have to go back and customize it. It could also be your keyboard driver itself. Especially if you have a cracked version ^^

I haven't changed the default shortcuts. Since I've installed it they aren't working and yes, I've got a c.v.; maybe this is the manner.
Also the easiest common shortcuts (like to resize brushes, CTRL+Z to undo,.....) doesn't work. I've to do all by mouse loosing a lot of time
