SOLVED: Colours Show Lighter On One File, Photo 2 - Suggestions?

[Ditto Bird]

SOLVED:

It turns out I was not paying attention to the layer opacity. The faded colour screenshot not only had 30% for the brush colour, but also 50% on the layer opacity. pbasdf's comment had me look a little more closely at my settings. 🙂

------------------------------------------------

Hi folks, Photo 2 (Purchased Licence) on Win 10 Home. For some reason the tree brushes I'm using on my maps are showing with a lighter colour on one of the 5 maps (restoring hand drawn 1979/80 maps for D&D) I'm working on. I cannot figure out what I've done wrong.

Both tree brush colours are HSL 223A1D at 30% opacity.  The first screenshot shows the map with the faded colour trees. The second screenshot shows the expected colour that is what also shows in the other 3 maps.

Both show a "tree" brush at 100% opacity in the water areas.

I've tried to show the layers involved. If there is any other information I can provide, please let me know.

If anyone can make any suggestions as to what I've done to create this I would appreciate it!  Thank you.

The tree and other brushes are from Map Effects as are the hills and mountains I used to colour as separate afPhoto files and copy flattened to the map files.

In the first image, the layer opacity (at the top of the layers panel) is set to 50%, while in the second it is 100%. Does that explain the difference you are seeing?

Thanks, I goofed up the screen shot. The top one is showing the wrong opacity. I adjusted it to 100 for the "water tree" shot and put it back to 5 instead of 30%.  I'll redo the screenshot.

Ah, it turns out I had layer set to 50% instead of 100% in the offending layer!
