    Try adjusting the "spacing" slider in the brush panel

    Of the flow/opacity/smoothing?


    It is at the bottom of the brush settings. Photoshop's brush puts down a series of brush stamps. The spacing can be reduced so it looks like a single stroke or spaced out so that it looks like a series of individual stamps.

    This screenshot is of the same brush with just the spacing changed - it is thecurrent version (22.1) but the spacing control is the same

    Try resetting the tools and/or preferences.
    To restore preferences quickly using a keyboard shortcut:

    Press and hold Alt+Control+Shift (Windows) or Option+Command+Shift (Mac OS) as you start Photoshop. You are prompted to delete the current settings. The new preferences files are created the next time you start Photoshop.
    Note: Using the keyboard shortcut, preference files for custom shortcuts, workspaces, and color settings will also be reset to default.

    I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum.  If not Photoshop, please tell us which Adobe CS6 program.
