Can somebody explain to me how to use quick masks? I know if you hit Q and then "paint on" the selection and hit Q again to exit it, then what you painted will stay selected. However how do you play around with something like a gradiant map, and other features of it. When I am in quick mask mode it doesn't give me the gradiant option. If anybody has a tutorial or website or something I would really appricate it.
I think you can only use gradient tool when using manual selections remember you can free hand selections or use the autoselect tools. You can also combine selections using the shift key while clicking.
I believe 'quick mask' is just...well, just that, a quick way to create a layer mask. Once you go back, and have a selection made, then you can just treat it as any layer mask. I could be wrong, but that is all I use it as.
