Hi

sure I’ve clicked that mysterious and hidden button that gets me every time.

Been editing all morning by selecting quick mask using thebrush tool , then deselecting quick mask etc etc.

Now when I select quick mask and just paint in even just a dot when I exit quick mask the whole image is selected.

I’ve reset all tools, hunted the web, kicked the dog and shouted at the wife- all to no avail

Can anyone tell me whats going on?

thanks

Ian

You don’t say what version yo are using, but any time new weird behavior happens it’s a clue to Trash/Reset Preferences as per the FAQs.

Make sure the brush size isn’t huge. This has happened to me a lot. I forget to look. Hope this is the problem.
