I made brush with several 'hair' dots like examples shown on Youtube. When I use the new brush the lines are not distinct, they are blurred and do not look like single hairs. I tried to troubleshoot an answer and found none. What have I done incorrectly?

Assuming you're using Photoshop to create custom brushes, please take us through the steps you used. Or give us a link to the tutorial.

Also which software version are you using?

And which operating system?
