Question

Some colors dominate

I'm using Photoshop Elements for Mac, version 2021.19.  It's running on an Intel MacBook Pro on OS-X Monterray 12.4.  I'm doing some line drawings and am coloring in some sections.  But sometimes a color somehow becomes "dominant," and I can't brush over it with another color.

 

I'm using TIF files at 600dpi.  I've tried saving the graphic under another name, but the problem persists.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks - Glenn

Im just responding becaouse you have a really awesome first name.....


Without a screenshot, like what you see below (showing the entire program) it's difficult to guess what the issue is.

However, I'm guessing it's due to your layer style.

This is a photo of Norma Jeane Mortenson from 1944.   Most know her as Marilyn Monroe.

I found that when I saved the file under a different name & then restarted
Elements, everything worked fine.

I’ve been told that I really should upgrade to the latest Elements
version. Should I?
