your brush is in dissolve mode... change it to normal or luminosty and try the same line

Thank you! I felt like a fool when I saw it was set on dissolve.

As soon as we saw that screen shot, it couldn't be anything else!  I think we should give that one equally to Dave for calling it, and Graham for reading the screen shot.

I have more than once hear Bert Monroy say that when things are not working as expected, check the Options bar.  I like to argue that it far from a rooky mistake, as you can at least claim intermediate status when you start dabbling with Options Bar settings.

Many of the posts could be answered much quicker on the forums, if people utilized more consideration and effort in posting properly.

Your computer is not working, include the OS & AI version. Something does not look or function correctly, post a screenshot. Better yet, always do both if there is any remote possibility that will help.

When asking questions is courtesy to post a screenshot when that would be helpful, showing your brush settings and result. People who show more effort and common sense in posting,  receive better responses.

Make sure your spacing  is set to 1%.

Also check the blend mode of your brush in the options bar and make sure it is set to normal and not dissolve

Could you please post a screenshot taken at View > 100% with the pertinent Panels (Brush Settings, Brushes, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

Is »Noise« checked in the Brush Settings Panel?

Are you talking about sampled Brushes or plain round ones?

Hi liamo,

Sorry that Photoshop is giving you some issues while using your brush presets. As I can understand, you are looking to remove grain from your brush presets.

Could you please take a look at this similar discussion Photoshop: Reduce noise brush | Photoshop Family Customer Community  and let us know if that helps?

Thanks,

Akash
