Brush tool photoshop misbehaving-Outlines?

[amyb80906177]

Hi there,

I am by no means an expert on photoshop so I must ask.

The other day everything is working fine, today I want to try the same thing and it's playing up. How to fix this:

Ok, As you may not see here, (try tilting screen to see what I mean).

In the background, there is a Brush dot in black, I want to make this into a shadow for the Flyer.

However, this brush is currently instead of perfectly fading into white, has a ring around it, where you can see the shades of grey fading out.

How do I make it so it doesn't have this so visibly? why is my brush tool all of a sudden different today?

Thank for any help,

Kind regards

Amy

Is Noise checked in the Brush Panel?

You may want to try working in 16bit.

why is my brush tool all of a sudden different today?

Could you have been working on RGB images previously?

Otherwise it seems likely someone changed the settings.

Did you ever save your custoimized Brush Presets?

You are Working in CMYK color mode, To remove "banding " try the first : convert to RGB  from image -> color mode -> RGB

then re-use the Brush Tool to see if the banding disappears.
