Brush at max opacity when build-up enabled :(

Question

So, I recently had to wipe my mac after some unfortunate mishap and after the usual installing of everything PS ended up acting kinda screwy.

It seems like the initial start of every stroke tripples in opacity. After some tinkering I managed to isolate the problem to the "Build-up" option. It happens regardless of brush used, as long as build-up is enabled. It doesn't happen every time, but often enough to get annoying and well, doccument... ^^;

So am I just an idiot? What is going on here? Please help!

Yeah, I've had to do that a couple times in the past too. Wacom must've gotten their sht together though, since it didn't seem to be the problem this time 😆

So, I tried using 3 different older versions and for last one I uninstalled all Wacom applications, but it didn't seem to change anything either.

Thank you for having so much patience with this, by the way! I didn't expect this to go on for so long. For... multiple reasons >_>

Thank you. Happy to help.

So it seems like your tablet is working great in all programs except Photoshop. Is that correct? If so, is it all versions of Photoshop or just the current version that you have installed? The Creative Cloud app allows you to have multiple versions of its programs, including Photoshop, installed simultaneously. Perhaps your next test is to see if the problem persists in an earlier version of Photoshop.

Did you try resetting the preferences?
