Paint brush not working


Recommended Posts

I have been following this video (link below), to soften and retouch skin. It worked well on a couple photos I edited but now when I get to the step where I need to use the paint brush, my paint brush doesn’t do anything. Nothing changes, it doesn’t paint. It does nothing. 
 

does anyone know why, or how to fix this. Please! Thank you in advance

Hi Staceymariesam :)

Firstly please make sure you have selected a Pixel layer to use the Paint Brush Tool on in the Layers Studio.

Secondly please check the Context Toolbar with the Paint Brush Tool active and make sure you have reasonable settings here - ie not at 0% Opacity or 0% Flow.
Please also make sure that 'Protect Alpha' is not checked and you have a colour set that would be visible in your document.

If you're still unable to paint in your document, please open the Brushes Studio and try changing brushes then painting again - does this work for you?

In the step that you inverted the layer to black, did you select white to paint?  Same a Dan C point that you have color set.
