How To Solve This Problem

I've been in your shoes, and trust me, the fix is easier than you think. If you're stuck in "Edit in quick mask mode" in Photoshop and you're wondering why your colors are acting weird, don't stress. Here's how to sort it out, step-by-step:

1. Top Panel: Look at the top of your Photoshop window. You'll see a bunch of options like "File," "Edit," "Image," and so on. Spot the one that says "Select"? Click on it. That opens up a dropdown menu.
2. Dropdown Menu: So in that dropdown, you'll see a bunch of choices, right? Scroll your eyes down to where it says "Edit in quick mask mode." It’s probably checked if you're facing this issue.
3. Uncheck: Honestly, just unclick it. That's it. No more Alpha channel. It'll switch you back to the automatic RGB channel selection you're used to.
