Gera Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Hi all! I was wondering if there was a way to turn off the function that when you do a brush stroke say at 40% opacity and if you stroke again after lifting the pen off the tablet it becomes darker. In other words, what can I do so that can do multiple strokes at an opacity less than 100% without being affected? I hope that made sense. Thanks!

Damien Symonds Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 No, sorry mate, it doesn't work that way. You literally should NEVER be using a brush opacity of 40%. Show me what you're working on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gera Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 I do it on anything in general... mainly dodge and burn, but also Nik tools, cloning, etc. I know it is not the most effective way but I don't know any other way LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 If you need a layer to be at exactly 40% opacity, you mask it at 100% then lower the layer opacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then make another mask on top of it like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gera Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 So, what would the proper procedure be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 You need to tell me exactly what you're aiming to achieve, and I'll tell you how to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gera Posted August 7, 2019 Author Share Posted August 7, 2019 The best way to explain it I guess is to paint using any brush at a set opacity without getting affected when I let go from the mouse button or pen and continue... Or visually, I don't wan brush strokes to look like in the photo... I'm sure you see the overlapping strokes, I don't want that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damien Symonds Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Yes, I know, I already told you. You do it at 100%, then lower the opacity of the whole layer. Or, in the Masks panel, lower the Density slider of the mask. I need you to tell me exactly what you're trying to achieve with a specific photo.
