Dodge and Burn not working in PS CC

I have a couple issues going on with the dodge/burn tools and masks. 1. Regardless of wether I am dodging or burning the area only gets darker. 2. On the layer mask the brush will switch back and forth between white and black with each click of the mouse. 3. The resulting layer mask will then look like you a painting with oil - not sure how to explain that but it looks like black and white repel each other instead of laying on top of one another. I'm using a PC with Windows 10.

Hi. Can you please share some screenshots of these issues?

The #2 sounds a little like a stuck keyboard key... is there a way to test with another keyboard?

Problem solved! My layer mode was defaulting to "Difference". Not sure how that came about but it now works normally. If you would like to re-create my issue for fun add a layer mask to a curve layer and up top change the mode to difference. Very weird. I've added the issue to my notes so next time I will be able to look it up and not bother anyone.

Thanks to all that replied with suggestions!
