Photoshop CS6 Issue.

[SnapGeek]

Does anybody know why Photoshop CS6 is creating this black area in my photos? It does this with all of my photos that I edit there that have either some over exposure or something that cs6 doesn't like.

I wish to turn off this feature because it's annoying and I don't care for it.

As you can see it doesn't actually show up in the real photo..

It's showing you your dark clipped areas. Try the "O" key.

Is there a way to turn off that feature?

 

[EIngerson]

Disregard the "O" key. I changed my hot keys a while back. Not sure what the default is.

Hm. O key simply select the burn tool. lol

That is a 'clipping indicator'.

If you press the F1 key on your keyboard while Ps is open it will take you immediately to Adobe Community Help. One of tutorials there will list all the default keyboard shortcuts.

For the Highlight Clipping indicator - Press the O key to turn it off.
The Shadow Clipping indicator is active and pressing the U key turns it off.
