It sounds like you don&#8217;t need to make a selection. If nothing is selected and the mask is active all you would need to do is CTRL I and all areas of the mask will inverse.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why is my layer mask black and white?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s because of how layer masks work in Photoshop. Layer masks use only white, black, and all the shades of gray in between, and they use these three colors (white, black and gray) to control the transparency of a layer. White in a layer mask means 100% visible. Black in a layer mask means 100% transparent.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Why my mask is white and not black Photoshop?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>Select the mask layer, and then press Alt key + Backspace key (windows) or Option key + Backspace key (mac). That will change your white mask layer in to black by filling whole layer with black color.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Can you invert a vector mask?<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<p>To invert a Vector mask, select the path (using the Path Selection tool) and choose \u201cSubtract Front Shape\u201d from the Path Operations in the Options bar.
