Mixture brush color doesnt stay transparent changes colors

[Retouch By_Danny1985]

since yesterday, I've been facing this issue, the mixture brush color doesnt stay transparent, it changes colors, and adds gray color to the highlights and makes it dull, 

I've tried reset the brush tool, reset to default photoshop settings, changed to beta, re-installed, removed and installed crack version as i had a deadline to deliver my work, but nothing worked, 

switched back to my paid version, nothing seems to be working, 

please help, 

PLEASE REFER TO THE IMAGE ATTACHED FOR BETTER UNDERSTANDING.

any help is hugely appriciated.

thanks

Hi all,
I have the same issue. I've noticed this after update Photoshop 25.11

Tried the same as @Retouch By_Danny1985 
Windows 10 Home, 22H2
Before the update all was fine.  
Mixer Brush Bug?

HEY ROSA, 

 Thanks for sharing, I'm sorry you're having the same issue, please let me know once you are able to resolve it, I'll do the same if this gets fixed somehow.

Will do Danny. The mixer brush still works for me. It's just the swatch icon not showing tranparency.

@Retouch By_Danny1985 this bug was reported to Adobe on the 11th of July and hasn't been fixed yet

Hi all, I'm not able to reproduce this bug on either Mac or Win. Mixer Brush appears to be working as expected for me in 25.13 beta.

I do however see weird stuff showing up in the little swatch icon that, yes, previously was expected to be transparent grid when loading is turned off.

@Retouch By_Danny1985  what do you see when you click the drop-down next to the swatch? It's strange that you see a multi-color gradient in there.

Hey Sef, I'm a fan, love your work, learned a lot from your course, and Im a retoucher now, thanks.

ON THE DROP DOWN NEXT TO THE SWATCH, I SEE

1. load brush

2.clean brush

3.load solid color only
