The brush tool is changing the colour to black?

When in drawing using the brush tool with any colour, if I stop drawing and start again and then go over the lines again the colour will be black but only if it is over the same colour.

What is the Blending Mode for your brush (in the options bar)?

It says subtract is there one that it is meant to be?

Yes -- change it back to normal and that should fix your problem!

Good catch! @Semaphoric

Let us know if that works!

Hi!

What version of Photoshop are you using? And can you show us a screenshot of your document window with the options bar and Layers panel visible?  Also, a screen shot of your brushes panel visible would be helpful too.

One thing that you can try is resetting the brush tool. With the Brush tool selected in the tools panel, click on the Brush tool icon you see in the Options bar and it will open the presets window. Click on the gear icon and from the dropdown menu select Reset tool. If this stops the problem from happening, then you are good to go, but if not, then please respond with the above info and screenshot.

Thanks!
