Hey guys I'm a loser and was wondering if someone here could tell me what the FUCK the difference between these layer masks is.
What does that little gray box with arrow mean and how the hell do I get rid of it? What does it represent? Everytime I see it, whatever I'm trying to do looks like shit. When I don't see it, everything goes as smoothly as a baby's butt. Thank you.

it's literally just a solid colour fill layer.
NOBODY?

bait
15 years of photoshop here, makes no diference.

can you tell me what the arrow signifies then? It seems to happen when the file I open PS with is black and white. When the stupid little arrow and box is there it seems like all the colors are more washed out and monochrome-ish.

>can you tell me what the arrow signifies then?
means that you can double click and change the color.

Verify the color mode.
image>mode
if you work with web, make sure the document mode is RGB, if not, CMYK
CMYK have a lower color range, wich may be causing your colors to look washed out.

But I can do that when the retarded gray box isn't there as well. I'll check the image mode but am 99% sure I switch everything to rgb.

Isn't that arrow thing there to tell you it's an adjustment layer? Or, at least to my eyes it looks a little bit like an adjustment slider?

yes.
>Isn't that arrow thing there to tell you it's an adjustment layer? Or, at least to my eyes it looks a little bit like an adjustment slider?
Yes.
So how do I get rid of the stupid thing? If it just means it's an adjustment layer, why isn't it there on the other column in the picture?

THIS SO MUCH THIS also yes, i just made a tumblr comment, sew me.

All I want is a brief description of what the stupid grey box with arrow is.

Hey budy im not a native english speaker and i guess you arent either and this is in the most honest spirit, to sew i think is related to tailoring, what you are looking for is to sue

I do not understand what you're saying at all.
never mind, I figured it out. You guys are all retards.

I'm dying of curiosity. What is it, after all?

All it does is indicate the fill color of your layer mask and it is only displayed depending on the aspect ratio of the thumbnail next to it.
If you rotate the image or crop it to change the shape of the thumb nail next to it, you will either make the stupid fucking gray box appear or disappear based on the size of that other thumbnail.
It has no effect on the file at all and does the same thing regardless. The effect I thought it had was his placebo and a massive coincidence concerning the lighting of the original photos I was working on
