I am trying to cut a person out of a picture with a deatiled background so I am using the quickmask selection and paint brush. I'm done selecting the person and have gone back into normal editing mode. I then inversed the selection created within quickmask to select everything but the person in the background. When I click delete, the background vanishes and the person become opaque.

What am I doing wrong. It took me a while to highlight this person and I've done this a bunch of time? what setting might I accidentally have on, etc.

Thanks

make sure your brush is set to 100% opacity, and the Flow is 100%, and air brush is disabled, as well as your brush being as "Hard" as you can set it,

its weird... Its still turning out transparent. I don't have a lot of custom settings. Is there anyway to restore photoshop to its default settings? I'm out of ideas on why this is happening

you can delete your settings, thus creating new default settings.

do a search on your hard drive for Adobe Photoshop CS3 Prefs.psp, and move this file to the trash.
