Gizbo Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Hello all I don't know what am i doing wrong, but i can't get the black colour, Opacity, flow, hardness is 100%, "pure" black colour selected but i see a grey instead of a black when i use the Paint Brush tool. Colour format is RGB, i tried both 8bit/16bit. Any idea ?? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdenby Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Turn off "wet edges." That sort of turns everything to watercolor. Oh, I see Lee beat me by a few seconds. It is the obvious answer. See attached, left wet, right, dry.

Alfred Posted June 2, 2018 Share Posted June 2, 2018 Is ‘Wet Edges’ perhaps something of a misnomer here? I would expect that setting to affect only the edges, not the entire brush stroke.

I would expect that setting to affect only the edges, not the entire brush stroke. I have to agree. From the Modifying Brushes help: Quote The 'wet edge' behavior builds paint up along the edges of your pixel brush stroke, producing a watercolor effect. The Paint Brush Tool help is similar in its description. But rather than simply building paint up along the edges it affects the entire stroke width of a round black brush, at least when opacity, flow and hardness are set to 100%. To me, the most obviously visible effect with a round black brush is that setting "wet paint" makes it look exactly like one had set either the brush's or the color's opacity to approximately 75%.

I would expect that setting to affect only the edges, not the entire brush stroke. Hmmm. Not withstanding the Paint Brush Tool help topic's reference to the stroke, my dictionary says an edge is "the outside limit of an object, area, or surface; a place or part farthest away from the center of something." So one could consider the "edges" (plural) to include the top & bottom surfaces of the paint. In that respect, it would be a misnomer only if the name was "Wet Edge" (singular).

On my 2D display, I can’t distinguish the top surface of the paint, and I don’t see the bottom surface at all!

Really? You can't distinguish the top surface of the paint layer (a.k.a. its fill)? Maybe you need to take a break from your stalking activities & remove those shades.
