user_0815 Posted Thursday at 10:48 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:48 AM Hi, I'm trying to set the paint brush colour do default (D) so I have black and white. But it insists to stay at grey. This only happens on a fill layer or rectangle (grey). On any other layer the brushcan be b/w as expected. Am I missing something here? brush.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotMyFault Posted Thursday at 10:57 AM Share Posted Thursday at 10:57 AM a fill layer has two color properties: the fill color itself, solid color or gradient or bitmap fill an inherent mask which can be painted on by brush tools. Naturally a mask uses only lightness information and no color information i don’t know if limiting the brush color on masks is ntended or bug, but it does no harm, as colors are unusable in masks.

NotMyFault Posted Thursday at 11:04 AM Share Posted Thursday at 11:04 AM What’s actually see is more complicated. depending on if you choose foreground or background color: background color allows only to change opacity of fill color, but the color is locked while a brush tools is active foreground color set color of brush tools, has no impact to fill color. i think this is an oversight in UI. Setting colors for fill and brush tools should be 100% separated. For fill layers it is entangled and causes much confusion. I strongly advise to never utilize the inherent mask of fill layers, or activate any brush tools while a fill layer is active. Chances are too high that you get lost in a UI trap. If you need a mask, add an explicit mask layer. user_0815 1 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.
