I just came across an issue while trying to edit a .psd file in CS5 that I created in CS4. It was a photograph and I was trying to edit a layer mask, but it wouldn't let me select the mask. I rebooted the iMac from the disk that has CS4 on it (I'm trying out Lion on an external drive and installed the trial version of CS5.5 since I have a legit copy coming in the mail with a serial number) and opened the same file and it works fine. Is there some setting with a different default in CS5 preventing me from editing masks?

I didn't try yet opening other .psd files because I need to get this project done for a client. But has anyone else experienced this?

 

Nevermind, I was apparently in Quick Mask mode when I saved the file, so it opened in QM mode as well

 

Basically... you're an idiot? [wink]

 

Basically.

 

Excellent.

 

Or it could've been a homebrew related issue.

 

I refuse to believe in your 'homebrew' until you honor my request to come brew with you. REFUSE!

 

Haha, I haven't in about a month anyways, too busy getting stuff together to graduate. Gotta get back on the horse after this week!

 

Talk to me when you make sense. Wuss. Haha.

 

i need a serial number for my cs5 =(

 

I haven't made the switch yet, so it's good to know. Sounds like a simple mistake too. LOL.

 

Yeah, I'm not sure if it is a CS5 thing or if CS4 does the same thing. I rarely use quick masks so it might be that I've just never run into the situation before, rather than it being a version issue.
