60% opacity for brush stroke

[Xav3xS]

Hi guys,

When I use the brush tool, the opacity of the stroke is not at 100%  even if every setting says it is.

As you can see in the attached file:

1) the opacity of the square is 100%, the opacity of the stroke is set to 100% too.

2) The value 60% does not exist in the menu

Thanks for your help.

Your first screenshot is showing two items (rectangle, brush stroke) in black/gray.

Your second appears to show a different document with a single pixel layer, and a red brush.

Did you upload the correct screenshots?

It would help to have a screenshot of the complete application window, with the Brush Tool active, and the Color panel open.

Thanks,

As you can see my brush stroke is grey despite the fact that it is set to black with 100% opacity

Seems that the brush can not reach the 100% full opacity.

Thanks. Much better screenshot.

Only one idea: Click on the >> on the right edge of the Context Toolbar and see if Wet Edges is set.

The wet edge was set. I am back to a 100% deep black.

Thanks for your help

You're welcome. And thanks for confirming.

This is expected behaviour when using the wet edges option on the brush, as this option builds paint up along the edges of your pixel brush stroke producing a watercolour effect
