[SOLVED - thanks @ NotMyFault & DM1] Weird bugs with round brushes

[Affinity iPad Student]

Weird bug One: Masking now requires double effort:

On a mask, I choose regular round brush, full opacity, full hardness, full flow. Black color
 

As I’m brushing away at the areas I want concealed, it leaves behind a faded portion of what I’m trying conceal. Meaning, I have to go over it twice. (Double the effort) 

Weird Bug 2: Light round brush leaving huge wet edges on stroke:

even though flow is down to 15 percent, hardness is 0%

these same settings on photo v1, the light round brush would have a very soft airbrush ink to it, now it’s giving very strong wet edges.
 

These strong wet edges, defeats the purpose of the light round brush which should ink like a soft mist onto the canvas. 
 

This has to be a bug! Or is there some kind of requirement now, where I have to go into the brush options and revert its current brush setting, back to Affinity Photo v1 —> light round brush setting?

 

I apologize for not providing images, I just wanted to throw up this post before I had forgotten due to me, about to go to sleep. 
 

Any illumination on this, will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you check if „wet edges“ is active?

Assuming wet edges is off, try reducing accumulation. I’m able to get a very soft misty look on a mask using round light brush with accumulation lowered. But even with it high I don’t get a strong wet edge. I guess a pic of your issue would help.🙂

wet edge solved it. I somehow clicked on it without knowing. I’ve never used wet edge, in AP1, and I’m definitely not used to its new position out in the open - up top, I must be careful. Thanks @NotMyFault @DM1

OMG.. searched 15 minutes on opacity .. brush color and Stuff.. This thing really shouldn't be active by default. Thanks for advice!
