Brushes acting funky

[Ky0u]

All my brushes are suddenly solid and out of shape. Even when I change the pen pressure/opacity/jitter - it still remains out of shape. Even the airbrushes act like splatters. I cant work like this. Anyone got any tips?

Have you reset the Tool yet?

What have you done for trouble-shooting so far?

Restoring Preferences after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved might be a good starting point:

Open the Brush presets panel, and uncheck all options (green highlight)

What do you see in the brush preview window?  (red highlight)

Reset the brush tool from the options bar
