    hello all on Dp
    im not sure if im going mad but i cant seem to make any layer selections
    in ps.
    and know how to use ps and what not but it seems today that i cant get it to work.
    i usually use shortcuts when working in ps
    so when i want to create selections around the text, shapes, or objects
    i cmd (mac) click on the layer to create the selection i need but when ever i try and do this today ps aint creating the selection when i cmd click???

    Cool!

    That happens to me all of the time. Actions, fonts and stuff like that wont load. But they always appear after a restart or two. :mad::D

    Hmmm - from the commercials I thought macs never had to be restarted :p

    Glad you got it going though. I hate it when my productivity tools make me unproductive.

    Your lucky you guys have Photoshop, GIMP breaks down ever 2 seconds, plus it takes ages to load plus Vista really doesn't like it :S

    Did you enter Quick Mask by accident? Try pressing "q"?
