Click the Default Foreground and Background Colors button at the bottom of the
Tools panel ( ), or press D on your keyboard, to return to the default foreground
and background colors of black and white. Painting with black adds to the mask,
essentially blocking that area of the image from any changes. Painting with white
subtracts from the mask, essentially making that area of the image active and ready

Keep in mind that, as a default, the Quick Mask appears as red when you paint with
black, and clear when you paint with white. The red indicates a masked area.
