GanjaDesigner Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 I was working on a piece, added a new pixel layer and no brushes are responding. Everything is updated. Tried closing document and application and no luck. IMG_5358.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 Hi, there are a few common reasons that brushes seem to stop working. Please try the following steps: select Pixel Persona Select pixel brush tool. Double check the correct tool is selected Create a new basic round brush (may create new brush category) create new pixel layer (top in layer stack). Double check blend mode normal, layer opacity 100%, blend range unmodified (reset all blend range options) select white / black / grey color (contrasting to background) from existing swatches.double check color opacity is 100%. set opacity, fill, hardness to 100% deactivate protect alpha In Photo: reset channels panel to activate all channels if nothing helps, please make screenshots showing layer panel, color panel, navigator panel, color panel upload sample file and screenshots Quote Mac mini M1 A2348 | Windows 10 - AMD Ryzen 9 5900x - 32 GB RAM - Nvidia GTX 1080 LG34WK950U-W, calibrated to DCI-P3 with LG Calibration Studio / Spider 5 iPad Air Gen 5 (2022) A2589 Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

walt.farrell Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 We need to see several items, in a screenshot of the application workspace, to be sure. Common issues are: Protect Alpha turned on in the Context Bar. Color opacity set to 0 in the Color studio. No layer selected in the Layers panel. Pixel layer nested within another layer/object, and trying to paint outside the parent. Pixel selection active, and trying to paint outside the selection.

GanjaDesigner Posted March 11, 2022 Author Share Posted March 11, 2022 Thank you! The “protect alpha” was turned on. I appreciate the quick responses! walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yosh Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I had the same problem with many raster brushes not working in pixel mode. After I updated the driver to my Huion Tablet problem resolved. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
