Hello community.

When I select the foreground color the bckground color is what the brush paints with and vice versa. I swap foreground with background and the new background color is active. As the screenshot shows white is foreground but black is active. If I do a fill and select foreground it is correctly white.

Hi!

You might also want to try resetting your tools. Here is a help doc on resetting your tools that might help.

Let us know if that works,

Have you tried resetting the Photoshop Preferences? They can be found in the Photoshop menu on a Mac and the Edit menu on Windows. Within the General tab is the button Reset Preferences On Quit.

Could you please post a screen shot that shows the entire interface so we can review things like...

Brush blending mode within the Options bar
Layer blending mode within the Layers panel
Do you have a mask active within the Layers panel
etc...
