The same thing happens to me when I'm editing photos in Photoshop. I'll be using a burn tool, for example, which is supposed to make an area of the photo darker. But sometimes I have the wrong layer selected and as a result there's no visible change to the photo whatsoever. I'll usually see a slight difference anyway, until I realize that it's not getting significantly darker after several tries.
