Mike Swartzbeck Posted April 17, 2022 Posted April 17, 2022 ...but it seems only in this one document, as far as I can tell. Everything seems OK in "Layer X" — proper xparency mode, xfer mode, proper brush, proper color picked, start swirling the Pencil around, and... nothing. Repeatedly. This also happens on brand-new layers created in this same document. Xfer mode is always Normal at 100% opacity, test it out with a 200 pixel brush in the loudest red I can pick, and... nothing. Repeatedly. Just went nuts. Scribbled like a madman all over every layer, nothing, no visible result. Went and created a fresh, brand-new file, grabbed the 200px screaming red brush, and — yep, lots and lots of red, scribbling perfectly all over the page. Ideas...? Quote
NotMyFault Posted April 17, 2022 Posted April 17, 2022 A document would help us to get ideas 😉 Plus a screenshot of the brush and all its settings incl. „more“. Plus the stroke panel if on designer.

Mike Swartzbeck Posted April 17, 2022 Author Posted April 17, 2022 Thanks; actually, though, that was one of the first things I checked. Even with the glove on, the heel of my hand sometimes accidentally switches "protect Alpha" on, but that wasn't it this time. Everything else — layer xparency & xfer mode, brush xparency, color profile, checked out OK. Could just be that odd file which becomes corrupted somehow and just craps itself. Had a backup to work from, so it isn't a total disaster or anything. Quote
