Spacing with check box, who on earth put this on here ?

Question

It keep clicking back on - can't draw a straight line! Makes everything WAVY.

Only has happened in last few years, have called so often, they act like they don't know what I am talking about. I am on a Mac new version, updated PSHP. No issues it's the same darn

stupid thing. I get into my illustration - with air brush - always like the softness.

Not on here for a while, even tho 25 yrs of designs, illustrations - did when painting oils or wcs and then pastels. Now arthritis in hands has stopped me from painting so returned back here. I have 1000's of greeting cards/and wonderful illustrations done 10 yrs for a children's book with a family of Bluebirds I so wanted to pull together. So working on this, and the darn spacing

stupid thing below on tools - at first thought it was my unsteady hand till I woke up and realized that *thing* is there again harrassing me ! Just hope someone knows what I refer to guess I can take a pic of it and send to - whomever, has time for this ! I am soon 85 and no, it is not me !

I wrote about Bridge yesterday when it suddenly appeared, had forgotten about it, there are many of my illustrations on it. Was happy to see, since I forgot some done ages ago and are so good - but have that to *figure out* as well, as I haven't a clue 'how to' tho was advised You Tube will fill in that need for me + of course I will do that just got into my bluebird story this pm.

Reaching out ! Thank you - so much, Cynthia

@cyndward what you are describing is brush settings. These are not defects, but rather adjustable tools that are likely set to defaults aftr upgrading to a new MAC. You hit the nail on the head by asking about spacing. By default, Photoshop doesn't create a continuous line when you paint. Instead, it lays down a series of individual dots, or "stamps," in rapid succession. The "bumps" you see in your stroke are the visible edges of these individual dots.

Open the Brush Settings panel by selecting the Brush Tool (B). In the Brush Settings panel, find the Brush Tip Shape section. At the bottom, you'll see the Spacing slider. Drag this slider down to a much lower value, typically 1% to 10%. The lower the value, the closer the dots are placed, and the smoother your line will appear. The Smothing options should be there as well, check the box next to Smoothing to enable the feature. The slider for the smoothing percentage will then appear, allowing you to fine-tune the effect.
