PatPaton Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Hi there, I’m trying to use the mixer brush in a different layer than my original photo and so far it’s not working. I’d like to know if I’d be able to this or not. I want the painting version of my photograph to be in a different layer. So what I do is: I duplicate the original photo layer and in between the 2 layers I create a new pixel layer. I then decrease the fill of the top layer of my original photo to 1%. Then I merge it down with the pixel layer I created. The other original layer of my photo is moved up and opacity decreased, so I can see what I’m painting. I set the primary colour to none, so the mixer brush is clean all the time in order to use the colours of my original photo. I then check the brush to be wet. When I paint to this merged down layer (1% fill original photo + new pixel layer) nothing happens. There are pixels in the layer and the brush is not getting them. Can anyone give an insight on this? Thanking in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted April 8, 2020 Staff Share Posted April 8, 2020 Hi PatPaton, Please could I ask what strength you have the brush set to? Does changing the strength value change this behaviour at all? Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

PatPaton Posted April 19, 2020 Author Share Posted April 19, 2020 @Callum thanks for answering and sorry I’ve disappeared! I was using the strength at 100%. Then I decreased to 99% and it worked. However it works for a while and then stops... P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
