Elements 15 low key doesnt work

Hi martinn,

Thanks for posting in Adobe Forum.

I understand you are facing issue with your brush tool in Adobe Elements.

Could you please try the following steps:

Firstly,

- Open Photoshop Elements

- Click "Edit"

- Click "Preferences"

- Click "General"

- Click " Reset preferences on the next launch"

- Re-open the program & test "Brush Tool" again.

If this doesn't help you then secondly,

- Select "Brush Tool"  from the toolbox.

- Click the  to open the menu in Tool Options.

- Click "Reset Tool" or "Reset All Tools" 

- Restart Adobe Photoshop Elements & test "Brush Tool"  again.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Are you sure you are starting with the foreground/background icon to default (black/white, shortsut D)?

If you can't reduce the effect, you can exit the guided mode to the 'expert' mode to see the layers palette.
- invert the foreground/background to white over black (shortcut X)

- click on the mask of the upper layer on the right

- select the brush tool and its size and opacity and paint on the mask to reveal progressively the original image.

Hi,

Please try resetting brush tool. For instructions, see Use Photoshop Elements tools

Now see if the tool works correctly.

Thanks,
