Trying to touch up this old photo. Paint brush regardless of color chosen will only paint in various shades of peachy, clay kinda thing no matter what color I select it is always a shade of peach, clay. When using burn tool it burns with similar cast. Any insight would be helpful.

Thanks

    The screen grab shows that you have applied at least three Adustment Layers. The settings for each of them affect what you then Brush into the Background Layer. i suggest you turn off the Adjustment Layers and check to see whether a color painted on the Background layer works normally. If it does add each Adjustment Layer back, one at a time, and test to see which is producing the result you have shown here. Also, post the full Layers panel and the original, unworked image.

    Have you tried adding a blank layer and painting on that? Have you checked to see whether resetting the Brush tool has any effect?
