You are trying to paint on the Diamond layer or Is that what you mean to do? If you want to paint on the image layer, (Background) or a pixel layer, you need to select it. Quote Windows PCs.

Kaostream Posted December 23, 2018 Author Posted December 23, 2018 Thanks for responding toltec. No diamond layer just to show I can do it in a layer. wanting to paint on test layer with a brush. Strokes not showing. Quote
toltec Posted December 23, 2018 Posted December 23, 2018 1 hour ago, Kaostream said: In the screeengrab you posted, the Diamond layer is selected. If you paint on the diamond the strokes would show. It is grey (selected) where all the other layer are black (not selected) Actually, the strokes would not show on the diamond either as you are painting in the same colour. Quote Windows PCs.

Kaostream Posted December 24, 2018 Author Posted December 24, 2018 Sorry, the diamond shows I can draw on a lyer with a shape. when I try to use a BRUSH on the test layer I can’t see anything painted Quote

Kaostream Posted December 25, 2018 Author Posted December 25, 2018 Thank you. That is the way it should work. I have selected the pixel layer first and not seeing the brush stroke on my pixel layers. I am using this on iOS on iPad. Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Perhaps you could show us a screenshot (or recording) where you're trying to paint on the pixel layer?

Kaostream Posted December 25, 2018 Author Posted December 25, 2018 Hi Walt, new screen shot. pixel layer selected. can’t paint. Quote
walt.farrell Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Thanks. However, with that much of the screenshot omitted I can't say anything more. Perhaps someone more familiar with the iPad interface than I will still be able to comment.

Paul Mudditt Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Can you check the opacity of the selected pixel layer to ensure it’s not set to 0% as well.

Kaostream Posted December 29, 2018 Author Posted December 29, 2018 Thanks everyone. I was experimenting with brush settings before playing with the image submitted for help. Opacity was at above 50 to 90 %. Not the culprit. reset all settings to factory settings. Problem solved. Thanks again for your suggestions everyone. Paul Mudditt 1 Quote

Im having the same issue where my brush will not paint on a selected pixel layer.im on iPad, I follow the tutorial video step by step, and even the example posted in this thread and can’t get paint brush to paint. In the official video it shows James being able to write his name on a new document or on a pixel layer, my paint brush won’t. Quote

However, you can find Factory Reset in documents < Defaults < Factory Reset this will reset your brush tools, colour settings, etc. My issue was that I accidentally activated the alpha protector on my screen. That’s why my brush strokes did not appear. Just unselect it and begin drawing. 1. Select the Paint brush tool 2. at the bottom of the screen tou will see Protect Alpha, deselect it. Now you’re good to go. Edited April 12, 2020 by Tisha Vassel DM1 1 Quote
JL567 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I had this EXACT same problem. When I try to digitize illustrations, I encounter a lot of glitches. I can no longer do anything in that document basically... no erasing, no filling, no painting, etc. My fix was to copy and paste the image into a new document and that worked. The other option is to export the document and open it as a new file. I find that if I do too many modifications, the app will start to get glitchy. Quote

You must always be aware of the type of layer you are working on, the most common mistake in my experience is to be working on an image layer or an adjustment layer. Generally you should rasterise an image layer before working on it. If you show a screen shot or a recording when your problem returns, always make sure you turn on show touches under preferences and pin the layer studio open so we can help you overcome your problems.
