Photoshop CS6 brushes not performing as standard

brushwipe Jun 18, 2013 2:51 AM

Trouble with painting project with fifteen layers so far. Using CS6 from Cloud. Essentials set to painting mode. Painting in solid black on white bg creates a translucent grey about 20% of solid black. I am painting top layer with 100% black with solid round basic brush but cannot achieve full strength color. Layer position is arranged on top. Brush settings: Size 100% Flow 100%: Jitter & spacing - zero. Maximum hard, Result = grey.

As a test trial I created a new canvas with white bg and hard round brush set 100% size & flow. It paints solid black without a problem.

Conclude that there is something not right in layered project. Any ideas?

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?

Do you mean »Opacity« when you state »Size«?

Hello, is it the same brush in both cases?
Is any option checked in the option bar?
There is no mask, or hidden selection?
If you are painting on a layer, make sure that it is at 100% opacity, blending mode set to normal.
