Brushing Problem..

Okay so I'm having this weird problem with soft brushing and a few other tools.. Basically this is what happens:



As you can see, the edges are really low quality and grainy.. you can also see the different shades as lines

Already tried clearing out photoshop settings at startup (ctrl + alt + shift), to no avail..

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Gee, big thanks fellas..

 

I actually encounter this same problem quite often. Any help would be appreciated.

 

yeah i have the same problem also

 

Im sure if anyone has any idea, theyll post when they read this, me myself, im clueless =[

 

If its that common a problem then its a rather big flaw in the program.. Brushing is such a big thing in Photoshop..

 

Never had that before. What's the resolution and color mode you have set for your files?

 

uhh small brush zoomed in too much?

 

try just using the gradient tool....

if not, fill a new layer any color, go to blending options....lower the "fill" (under opacity) to 0 and then go to gradient overlay and spread the "range"...(at the bottom)...

 

Nope it was a default brush and I don't want to use gradients if they're not needed. And SP, I use RGB 8bit like everyone else.. The problem seemed to be fixed when I changed to 32bit, but made a lot of functions incompatible..
