I have attached a photo of a brush I have, that applies more/less "texture" (for lack of a better word) based on how hard I press down. 25% pressure gives a light texture, 50% medium, 75% dark, and then 100% is basically black.
Is there a setting I can change that will give me a constant, repeatable texture? I am looking to make 3 brushes from my below brush that can give me uniform, repeatable textures - Brushes that will give me 25% or 50% or 75% no matter how hard I press. Something I can switch back and forth to and get the same, repeatable texture level without having to worry about getting the pressure exactly right.
Any questions/clarifications, please ask! Any help would be appreciated.

The texture is the same in every case, but with opacity set to Pen Pressure, the harder you press, the darker the stroke which obscures the texture.
You can use a curves layer to darken the layer the stroke is applied to
As regards brush settings, we can't control the texture opacity, but you could try setting Depth Jitter to Pen Pressure, and minimum depth to 0%. I don't know if this would work without knowing which preset you are using.
Another thing you could try is making two copies of the preset, and changing the texture each one uses. You'd need to experiment, but if you try some existing Patterns to see their effect it would give you a guide.
Is the preset you are using part of a default or 'get more brushes' set? If thhat's a yes and you can show us, it would help us try some things out for you. (We love messing with stuff like that 🙂 )
