Somehow I do a keyboard shortcut [very often] that adds a quick mask to the channels for all layers.

Can someone please tell me how to reverse this for all layers other than having to do it manually for each layer.

thanks in advance!!!

To take a side track – I went through keyboard-hell yesterday that caused all sorts of havoc – the keyboard just plain went bad (methinks maybe the night janitor ‘cleaned’ it)

So try another keyboard first

i have a mouse with side buttons that are set to control and alt it’s easy to push control by mistake
in PS this makes things happen

(control click thumbnail makes a mask)

so if that is the issue just go into mouse driver and disable or re-assign the side buttons for only Photoshop
