Photoshop brushes like air brushing?

Question

How do I paint smoothly in Photoshop, my brushes are like spray paint... I don't know what I did...

Answer 1

The air brush is like spray pain, the longer you hold the button down the more will fill in your image. You can use the paint brush for a smoother paint effect - or change your brushes.

Peace!

Most likely culprit is that your flow is not set to 100%. The properties for the brush tool include Opacity and flow. For solid lines, ensure both are set to 100%.

If that is not it, then check to ensure that Mode is set to Normal.

If none of that works, check to see what brush you are using. Click the Brush drop down to change the brush and/or use the brush palette. Some brushes are created specifically to mimic spray paint, blades of grass, etc. Those brushes intentionally do not create solid lines.

Finally, if all else fails, then probably you have changed the Brush Presets in the Brush Palette. I would need to know what settings are selected there before I could determine a fix.

Assuming you're not using an older version of Photoshop, there should be an options bar at the top of your screen. If it's not there, go to Window>Options. In this bar is an icon of an airbrush near the "View" menu at the top of your screen. Clicking on this icon will make your brushes act like an airbrush. A similar effect can also be achieved by lowering the "Flow" value of your brush (adjusted with a sliding bar near the "Filter" menu). Make sure this value is set at 100%. If that doesn't work, you can always return your tools to the default settings by clicking the tool icon on the options bar then choosing "Reset Tool" or "Reset All Tools" from the context menu.
