Photoshop Alpha channels

[Chasarsis]

A couple days ago I accidentally tried to name one of my layers without clicking on the layer's tab and in doing so activated a whole bunch of shortcuts. I didn't think anything was wrong at the time, but a couple of hours later I had this:

AND before even that, my CS2 decided to blur anything that I was doing; e.g. if I tried moving a layer, the layer would look like I'd applied a light mosaic filter to it, until I stopped moving. The only thing I can remember about this is that it started around the time I got the NvidiaNormalMap Filter

So, somehow I've managed to screw up my photoshop ^^
Any suggestions, or should I just break down and try a reinstall?

uhm.... i had same problems once... there didnt even a reinstall helped.


only after i reinstalled windows it worked. dunno you can try it.


btw why is only red shows?

klick on the eye on the red layer and then click on the same spot only at rgb.... should fix abit or?

Problem fixed! As it turns out, I had "color channels in color" on which is under Edit - Preferences - Display and cursor's. Now I can see stuff in grayscale again ^^

I also had on pixel doubling, which was causing the blur effect. Coincidentally it was right under the color channels button =P

Thanks for the warning. Personally, I never had this problem, but if tryforce got it too, it must be common.
