I have just started using CS5. When I do a quick mask and select the bursh it seems like the brush is only acting like it is set to about 50% opacity. However, both the opacity and flow of the brush are set to 100%. What did I set wrong? Funny thing is it worked in the usual manner earlier in the day so I think I clicked on something to screw it up but can't seem to find out what. This only seems to happen in Quick Mask Mode. When I use standard burshes for other thing it is business as usual.

Regardless of how it appears, is quickmask working properly to make/adjust the selection? If so, you may have somehow just changed the setting of the overlay color. Check preferences. If qm is not working properly, make sure blend mode for brush is normal and that layer opacity is also at 100%. Otherwise, that's a stumper. Hope some other PS guru can diagnose.

Thanks for the reply John. I just solved the issue. The problem was that after making a quick mask, inverting and creating a layer mask so I could move it for "cloning" the layer mask was only at 50% regardless of how the sliders were set in the layers box. I went to c/users/name/appdata/roaming/cs5 and removed the Adobe Photo shop CS5 Settings file. This eliminated any weird buttons I may have pushed and allowed PS to reestablish its default settings. I then reset my preferences and all is well with the world.
I do not konw what I sis to screw it all up, but I do hope this helps others who may have issues.
