can not select or modify the layer in CS5.1 extended mask

In our class, we have photoshop CS5 on Mac

I started a class project, which involves the creation of a layer mask. I was about done with the mask, but brought home at the end I opened the file on my WIN XP works photoshop CS5.1 extended, which I installed this morning. In class, I was able to click on the mask to select, then use the brush to change the details, the white or black paint if necessary to refine the edge.

When I put the original .psd file and opened in the new version of Photoshop, it doesn't allow me to select the mask for the edition. I selected the layer and then clicked on the thumbnail of the mask in the pallet layer but didn't see the contours of the corner, which usually appear when the thumbnail of the layer is selected. When I tried brushing up on what I thought, it was the mask (on the selected layer), I got the pink overlay as usually seen in the quick mask. (foreground and background are black and white colors).

V5.1 behaves differently with masks of v5.0? I do not change the factory default settings and in the classroom, it is a common practice to restore the value by default when you start.

any ideas?

It is not supposed to be a difference in how Photoshop CS5.1 works compared to CS5.

Normally, you click on the layer mask icon in the LAYERS Panel, you see the contour change, then paint you on the mask.

If you don't see quick out frozen, what happens if you press Q, then clear any selection and click on the layer mask icon again?

  • You cannot select or modify the work

    I'm new to Illustrator CS5 (but not so new drawing tools, etc.) and am trying to change the color on an existing logo.  I have the logo in .eps format, but when I open it, I can not select the work.  I tried 'select everything on the artboard active', etc and nothing seems to work. It's as if she is not there (although, when I go over it I see 'anchor' and 'path' windows pop-up with xy coordinates). I thought that perhaps he has been locked somehow, but I tried the keyboard shortcut "unlock all" (in the menu item menu items are grayed) and which does nothing.  I'm sure it's something simple, but I went through the tutorials and don't see anything about it.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated!  Thank you!

    In your layers palette, check to see if there is a padlock icon, click to unlock

    As you see the say anchor type, you can have a mask. If you can select and delete, then the item that you are interested in is in a mask, and it is a real pain because they changed the functioning of the masks in cs4. You can run down the triangles in the layer palettte, dfind the element you want and delete it.

  • BlackBerry smartphones can not configure e-mail, the option is not available

    Hello

    I just bought a new BB9790 and replace the sim card from my old BB9300 inside.

    I still have the same provider, vodafone, so everything should work, but it doesn't.

    I can't select the option to set up my e-mail account.

    After discussing 5 times with vodafone yesterday they me told to contact Blackberry because it's not their problem, everything is configured correctly on their side.

    I've tinkered a bit more and discovered that when I take out the sim card, reset the phone, I am able to select the mail account to set up a business account. don't have one so it does not work.

    But as soon as I put in my sim card, I can not select the e-mail account.

    I connected my BlackBerry ID and tried everything I could find on the internet, but it still does not work.

    sending the phone back and get another probably won't solve the problem because it looks like a software issue or registration.

    Who has a solution for this?

    Thank you, Monika

  • I can not select Windows 8.1 upgrade and other applications after update system

    I just refreshed my laptop Windows 8.1 after that that he returned to Windows 8... I opened the store and I can't select Windows 8.1 upgrade and other applications. What can solve this problem?

    If you bought your laptop with Windows 8, and she had a recovery partition, it would reset to Windows 8 when you want to run a system to refresh. This also applies if you have performed the update system using a disk installation or recovery of Windows 8. You mentioned that you are now unable to update Select 8.1 of Windows update, the Windows store.

    The Windows 8.1 update is not listed? Or you can not face problems with the update 8.1 for Windows from the Windows store?
