Something about making Eyeballs

Hi,

I am a newbie using photoshop. I tried out the eyeball turorial but at 7 step:
"Now set the layer mode to color dodge on the Highlight1 layer and go to filter/blur/guassian blur and use a setting of about 7 or so. "
at this point I did not get the correct effect, instead of getting a white blur effect I always got a red blur effect.
I tried it more then onces, on different days but I always get the same effect...

Can anybody help me
Thanks foreward

check what your forground and background colors are before doing this step....
you prolly have red as one or the other color.....

*just guessing*

Thanks

but it does not works, I tried it with black and white, blue and white, full white and lot of combinations with the same effect

ahhhh, you know what? I'll bet that "red" IS the mask. You are in "quick mask" mode I figure....and if you dont worrie about it and keep on goin on the tutorial it'll come out right...
or look in the layers/channels pallet and find the mask channel and make a selection out of it.

Tath's it...

Many Thanks
