Hi there.

Don't panic, it just sounds like you're not really understanding how "Quick Mask" works, that's all.

In order to see ANY amount of 'masking colour', you need to either have a selection active prior to entering QM, or use a brush to paint on the mask AFTER entering QM.

By default, just clicking the QM button will not produce any masking colour, because unless you have a selection active, an area to be masked has not yet been defined.

Let me know if this helps.
