Question

The Brush tool is acting like an eraser

It's only behaving like an eraser in Animate, not in photoshop or anything else. I'm using a deco-03 tablet. Any help would be seriously appreciated.

Uninstall and reinstall.

Hello,

I'm only commenting this just in case you all made the same dumb mistake like me.... If your pen for whatever tablet you're using has a "Pen/Erase" button it might be switched to the "eraser" button. 

On screen it will show that you're still using a brush, even though the eraser is actually what's being used.

Hope this helps.

Just to confirm, does the brush behave normally if you use the mouse instead of the tablet stylus?

 

Are your tablet drivers up to date?
