Photoshop :: Brush Tool Paint Number 8
Jan 12, 2011
When using the Brush tool in Photoshop, adjusting its opacity to (say) 50% en then painting the number "8"---so by crossing the curve with itself---how come the crossing does not add its opacity? If you would draw with a real brush on a real canvas, and come back to the same point in one single stroke, then that would be darker and darker. Why does Photoshop has another rule for this, should that work for a certain application? I find it rather not realistic, so I was wondering...

I always used the number keys to set opacity in brush tool. Suddenly it now affects flow, not opacity. At the same time this functionality changed I started having to click on a mask for the [ ] keys to change brush size. I used to be able to change size without selecting the mask. Did I inadvertently change some setting? I am using CS5 12.0 x 64 on Mac in 10.6.8.Â

I try to use the brush tool I can not "paint" in the image.
I created a new image, selected the brush tool.
In the image a circle with a + in the center appears, but when drag the circle nothing appears.

I, like most of us here undoubtedly, have become pretty familiar with the pen tool. From way back when we first start by placing anchor points then going back over them and adjusting them, to getting to the point where we can place them in the right spot, adjust them as we place them and keep moving.
Recently though, just to change things around so I don’t get bored, I've decided to try using the brush tool and my drawing tablet for masking purposes.
I was surprised to find that I really enjoyed it.
While they both give different results right off the bat, the end result is still the same. Something is masked out.
Mostly now, what I do is pen tool for everything except the hair. I just create a big path around the hair then come back and use the brush tool.
So...anyway. I'm just wondering if anyone has a preference or a good combination between the two?
Personally, I like both. I think they both have their strong points and weaknesses. The pen tool makes masked objects look obviously cropped, while the brush gives a bit more of a random edge. I mean you can still spot cropped images that were made with a brush, but its not as in your face. Of that is neither good or bad because if you need those sharp edges, your better off using the pen tool.

I made a new document on Adobe Photoshop today, and I picked a color, and used to paintbrush tool. It came out very translucent and I had to go over it about 5 times before it looked opaque...And I never changed any of the settings, I left it the same since I bought it. Does anyone know how I can fix this so I can draw on here without having to go over my lines a million times?

this worked until yesterday. I didn't install any software on the pc or change any settings that I can think of. I'm using photoshop cs2. I've rebooted the computer several times and I've quit/restarted photoshop several times.
when I create an adjustment layer, I cannot paint black in the mask area. I can fill with black and paint white. if, after filling black and painting white, I press D (to swap foreground/background colors), I can paint, a paintbrush thing shows up in the history, but it won't change. if I press D again, and paint some more white, it shows up in white. likewise, if I choose black another way (eyedropper, setting rgb to 0,0,0), it behaves the same. likewise, if I don't start out by filling black, and I just try to paint black on the white mask, it behaves the same (doesn't work).
if I create a new layer, I can paint black on it. If I switch to the pencil tool rather than the brush tool, I can pencil black into my adjustment layer masks.
any suggestions?
or what info can I get for you so you have a good place to start?

Is there a way to rotate the paintbrush tool? There's many times when I'm using a brush and it's at the wrong angle. Placing the brush on a separate layer and then rotating the layer is a huge hassle. Therefore, I was wondering if there was a way to rotate brushes.

I need to cover some details about the photo such as: date - location, etc.. - Until now I used the brush tool with a stroke to cover the details I have mentioned, but I can not run it with the mouse perfectly horizontal line. There is another way that I could use?

Is there a way to use the line tool to make a 1 pixel wide line? When I use a brush width of 1, the line apears to be blurred. I would like the line tool to draw a line as if it was drawn using the pencil tool (with brush width of 1). This means that every pixel I colour, will have the exact ARGB value that I am using at that moment.
Â
I have attached an example of this to this post. It consists of two lines, the top one has been drawn using the line tool, the bottom one using the pencil tool. I would like to turn the top line into the bottom one.

I create 16x16 pixel icons for use in my mapping software. I notice, when picking colours from the colour palette and dropping them into my grid using the brush tool, the initial colour is not its full intensity and that it is increased each time I click the mouse. This resulted in different hexadecimal values for each pixel square, which is unacceptable for my purposes. However, I discovered while writing this post, using the pencil tool drops the full colour intensity into the square. Now I am curious to understand why the two tools operate differently and how one knows, if using the brush tool, when full intensity is reached.

I was using the warp brush tool (Paint Shop Pro X4) and for a stupid manipulation the tool bar where I had the value related with the brush tool slipped away. Now I 'm not able to recover it and I cannot change the dimension of the brush of the warp brush tool. I don't know what to do and I'm in trouble. I have tried all the tool bars but it doesn't appear anymore. How can I change the dimension of the warp brush tool without that?

Check the following
PSPx5.
Tools.
Smudge Brush.
Size 40. Doesn't matter what size.
Hardness 100. Doesn't matter hardness setting.
Step 1.
Density and Thickness 100.
Rotation 0.
Opacity.
Here's my problem. If I set it to 71 or below nothing happens. If I set it to 72 or higher I get a big smudge. I can't get an opaque smudge. 72 I get nothing and at 73 I get a lot of smudge. I can go with a higher setting ok but I can't get anything below 72.I can play with density but that' gives a different result. Not what I want.

I must have fat fingered something and I now when I click on the Eraser Tool or the Brush Mask Tool instead of getting a circle or square, I get and icon of the tool instead. Â They still work but they're harder to use without seeing the circle or square depending on what's selected. Â I've been using Corel for many years and never had this happen and I can't figure out how to switch back.

I am looking for a quick solution of numbering around 75 things on a picture. I want to specify links of a screenshot using numbers. The way I imagine this, it would be a number with a circle around it, however, if I do this manually, it would take foreever, and I'm very limited in time. I am looking for a quick solution.

No matter what 1 single pixel brush i use this will happen... no matter which computer i use cs6 on and different copies of the installation.  Anyway have any insight into this? frankly... it's somewhat limiting that i can't use the brush for stroking a shape if i need a pixel line and yet soft curves that a pencil won't get you.Â

The brush tool loses the outline of the tool as the diameter gets larger. e.g. at 175px there is a fill outline of the tool. At 200px only a semi-circle is shown.

So everything is fine until I use the select tool, and then free transform a part of the image. Then my brush and eraser stop working until I save and restart the program.

I'm having a problem with the Blob Brush tool where I can't change the basic brush to something else. Whenever I pick a brush I want and I try draw with the Blob Brush tool, the brush I picked reverts back to the basic brush. Here are screenshots:
Â
I pick a brush that I like first
But when I start drawing with the Blob Brush tool, it reverts back to the basic brush automatically
Am I doing something wrong or is the Blob Brush tool only capable of using the basic brush?

I'm using a tablet with gimp and I want to be able to set the brush size for the paint brush and also for the eraser, separately. What happens now is that I'll set the paintbrush size to 10px, paint for a little while, turn the pen over to erase and the eraser will now be at 10px. So I'll adjust the eraser size to something like 50px, erase, turn over, and now the paintbrush is at 50px. Grrrrrrr... I tried creating new brushes for both the paintbrush and the eraser, but there's no brush size option. This is my first time using gimp so I'm probably missing something.

The closer I got to the same look was to create a brush with the size of 1 pixel and 500% spacing, but it's still a bit slow to get even a small area looking like it's been sprayed. Plus, in the end my pattern looks too regular, not very natural. Here is part of the image whose look I'm trying to recreate (400% and 100%).

I've converted a 2D image into a smart object, dragged into a project then transformed it using the Distort command (similar to how you might distort a 2d image to make it sit inside a photo frame at an angle) . I need to then warp that image around over something that looks like a curved panel thats 2D but looks 3d. Its not a 3d object, but a rendered 2d image that just looks 3d.
Â
I'm using the Transform > Warp tool as Puppet Warp isnt available after using Distort when using Smart objects.
Â
Warp works fine to some extent but I could really do with more handles and smaler grid for more accurate warping rather than the default 3x3 grid & handles..
Â
Possible to add more handles/ nodes/ control points (or whatever they'e called) and/ or increase grid points in the same way Puppet Warp does this so as I drag around I control a tigher & smaller space?

Photoshop "Slice" tool limitations
Â
Question:
How can I get the slice tool to "obey" request for requested number of rows and columns or pixel values for rows and columns?
Â
Elaboration:
The Slice tool in CS6 Photoshop will not "obey" my request for number of rows and columns, or pixel values for rows and columns.I use the Slice tool in Photoshop to prepare small square images for use in a mosaic creation application. The squares are 64x64 or 32x32 pixels.I crop my image to a multiple of 64 or 32 pixels on each side and right click with the slice tool.I have a hard time getting the slice tool to generate more than 10 rows horizontal and vertical. For example if I have an i age 1280x1280 pixels and try to get a division of 20 rows and 20 columns, I end up with columns 256 pixels and rows of 64 pixels.I can try entering number of rows and columns numerically or specify pixel values in the row and column, but either approach will not give me the square slices I ask for.
