Painting with the Brush Tool and doubling

[Adrian Wood]

I am colouring in a background to a drawing and working close up and then I zoomed out only to find that the bottom half of the drawing has been painted as well. It looks as if the top right is repeated at bottom left.

I have no idea what I have done and how to undo this. I have obviously set the tool to do this but I cant find an undo and I dont want to start again if I dont have to.

Can you please tell what I have done?

Thank you

Adrian

The line in the centre and the node in the middle tells me you have somehow turned on symmetry.

With the paint brush selected look above the workspace and you will see a context menu, you should have a tick in the checkbox for symmetry.

Uncheck the symmetry checkbox and then you'll have to erase the bottom section.

Thank you very much. I was working with a pad and must have clicked on the Symmetry without realizing. Lot to learn...
