Even at 100% my mask brush doesn't erase everything

When I use a layer mask, to erase part of the layer effect. Not everything is erased. A small residue remains. Even when all the settings seem normal and opacity and flow are at 100%. I already reset my brushes to default and I updated the newest update. The problem remains.

Hi

Check that your brush colour is actually black. It can look black when in fact it is just a very dark gray.

I'm also having this issue. Was there ever a resolution? It was working fine with one image, the next image I was getting a ghosted image of the mask. Being busy season right now and having many Christmas deadlines, I am very frustrated.

FOUND IT! 

1. Right click on the layer mask.

2. click on "mask options"

3. and Click on "Cancel" 

I don't know why, but it worked for me.

Check your foreground/Background color (those little squares on the  bottom left site) and  make sure that you are at fully black, on the background and fully white on the foreground. And you got your problem fixed

Вы оказались правы. У меня был не чисто черный цвет. После выставления 0-0-0 все заработало правильно. Спасибо!

Even with a full black brush, masking is not always 100% when using the brush tool, so what I do is make a selection with the lassoo tool, and Alt Backspace to fill wityh foregraound colour (which has to be black). That removes/hides every pixel first try.

se avete il nero pieno selezionato (#000000) ma il problema persiste, provate a selezionarlo nuovamente e il problema verrà risolto.
