This is my first posting. I turn to you all for help because Adobe told me that it would cost a bundle to answer my question even though I bought CS 5 weeks ago (30-day warranty!).
I have been using a very simple method for selecting parts of an image:
1. I do a rough selection using the lasso or magnetic tool.
2. I go to quick mask.
3. I then use the brush tool either to add "red" and increase the selection or to erase part of the selection.
(Incidentally, I don’t find reference to this in the manual, but a friend taught me how to do it and it works like a charm.)
Trouble is, my brush suddenly stopped erasing, although the "red" brush works to add to the selection.
Remarkably, however, the pencil tool still erases the unwanted portion of the selection, but it doesn’t seem as effective.
I tried uninstalling and then re-installing CS, but that made no difference.
Can anyone suggest what I should do to get the brush tool back in business?
