OK - apologies for the duplication. I hadn't searched in that particular forum.

(Apologies if a similar post has already been made - I did check but may well not have found one, if it exists.:)) For those with a particular interest in Black and White photography a must-see site is: http://www.digitalmonochromeforum.co.uk/ This site was previously hosted elsewhere and...

Bill - thanks, in particular for being so patient and sympathetic

I tried so many options that I can't remember exactly what I did - but changing the little squares round was a crucial part (for me) Anyway - hope this thread saves someone else a load of grief.:)

Bill - cursor settings are as yours - so that is ok YES - changing the colour of the squares has sorted it. Thanks for allowing me to retain some hair. It's amazing how something so simple can create so much hassle - thanks to everybody for all the help. And yes - I see that you had already...

Let's take this in steps Open the image in PS - done Hit Q - done click on the brush- done and paint part of the image - done you should have an image with a "red" area what do you have? - NO RED AREA The following screen shot is after doing above steps - you can see that I am working on...

100% opacity and 100% flow I selected 'All' because that is the only way I can (currently) get it to work. I can partially 'over' select just a parat of the image and, doing the same process, remove the excess mask but I can't paint the mask just on the areas I want, which seems to be what...

Ok - I found this (just to confirm that I AM trying to sort this out myself too:)) https://forums.adobe.com/thread/887988?tstart=0 And if you scroll down you will see a test involving a rectangular marquee selection - that works for me as described. UPDATE I CAN now get QM to sort of work...

Thanks Bill Just tried your suggestion When I do the painting there is no effect ie no red layer mask. And if I open a curves adjustment layer and move the curve then the whole image is affected - which confirms there is no mask. I keep trying and I sometimes again get it to work but by...

Yes - tried that it doesn't make any difference. Just been pressing random buttons and annoyingly got it to work* but don't know how. It must be somethikng to do with the opening settinds adn then the order in which yoiudo stuff. ie: - all image was covered with a red mask - when I painted...

Ok, thanks for that. So presumably it is something to do with settings (maybe)???

Thanks for the prompt responses. I had been getting the same results by clicking on the icon. HOWEVER ...... I just opened up CC/PS again to check and by chance I happened to use a colour image - I had been using a B&W one before. And with the colour image it worked. So is it that you can't...

(I have searched on t'internet and on TT but not found a solution:(). I have CC on windows 10 I want to use quickmask but when I try to follow tutorials what happens in the videos does not happen on my screen. In particular I can: - open the image - duplicate the background layer -...

I agree entirely. I don't see what people are getting so upset about.

No problems Gary. If I can find a cheap flexible (removable) solution then I will probably go for it but it's not a priority for me☺
