          Welcome to the forum.

           

          If I understand what you are doing, and what is happening, then it might be helpful to do the following:

           

          Go to Quick Mask Mode (Q).

          Create, or modify your Mask.

          Exit QMM (Q).

          At that point, your Mask should appear as a Selection (marching "ants").

          Go to Selection>Save Selection, to create a permanent Selection/Alpha Channel in that file.

          Be sure to Save/Save_As that file, in probably PSD, to keep that Selection/Alpha Channel.

           

          Good luck, and hope that helps.
