Its wierd, I dont know what happened but for some reason I can’t use the select tool at times and when a layers is selected, instead of just turning blue, it turns a very light blue and wont allow me to either deselect the object (so its not outlined) or click anything other than the layer mask. Its really wierd. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks

Mike
