Question

Airbrush Soft Grainy - not acting as expected

Hello everyone,

I am experiencing some difficulties using this brush called Airbrush Soft High Density Grainy, that i was able to get by downloading the Legacy brushes pack in Photoshop version 25.5.1.

I recently watched a video demo of this brush and the result wanted is much more different that what it actually does when I try it. It appears only as a grainy round flat stroke, not that 'gradient' texture fade i want to achieve. 

Also the stroke it creates on the canvas is way different that the stroke preview I see in the brush panel.

 

I am using a wacom Pen & Touch tablet. I tried messing with the settings a little, but nothing seems to work and fix it.

What is the tilt-sensitivity setting?

Hi!

 

I'm also experiencing problems with the legacy airbrushes. If you don't mind me asking, what is the name of the Domestika course?

I'm getting the same as you. You can play with the settings but I doubt you can get it to work like the preview picture. Can you post a screenshot from the video where they are making it look like that?

That's the Airbrush Soft High Density Grainy in Legacy>Default Brushes?

 

Can you provide a link to the video?

It is the exact same brush, that's correct. Sadly I can't provide a link, because it is a Domestika illustration course, it can only be purchased.
