Problem with brushes and saturation

Hi,

I've got a trouble in drawing with a brush after performing a changing in saturation/hue of a layer. After performing that, the brush doesn't behave as it should, as it becomes whiter and you need lots of strokes to get the color. This problem gets worse when trying to draw with a 50% transparent brush, then every single color gets whiter and it seems to have some white halo, over the layer treated with hue and saturation. Does anyone knows what is happening, and how I could solve that?

I post a picture of the weird effect. Thank you all!

One thing to add to the above.

If you are printing your output on an inkjet - do not convert to CMYK. Inkjet print drivers are designed to work with RGB data.

Only if you are sending to a printer , might you convert to CMYK, and then, as stated by D.Fosse earlier, only to the CMYK profile specified by the printer, if he/she can't tell you - use another printer!

I guess with black and a primary the effect is even more noticeable.

And for mixed colors the GCR settings of the Color Space can have a significant influence.

Even though by painting or otherwise editing a CMYK image one may mess that up anyway.

The screenshot is too small for me to be sure if the image is CMYK – is it?

If so: Why?

Hi, Image is in CMYK. It should be in that colour mode as it will be printed. Could it be aproblem with that?

Standard procedure is to work in RGB and save that as the master file. Then convert a copy to the CMYK profile that applies to the actual press conditions (you won't know which until you ask the printer).

This avoids a bunch of potential problems, like exceeding maximum ink coverage resulting in smearing and drying problems. It also lets you repurpose the file easily for different press conditions.
