Brush Glitch?

[chungculands]

I am a b&w photo colouriser. I had to recently uninstall and reinstall photoshop. After doing this, whenever I am painting layers with the background layer (the photo) turned off, it almost appears that the brush is bleeding it’s colour into the surrounding areas.

Except, if I zoom out or turn background layer on and off again it goes away. The same issue is there whether I am “painting” a layer with the brush or using its inverse to erase.

Anyone encountered anything like this? I am using a MacBook Pro - Photoshop cc2019.

Photos attached showing before and after and highlighting what happens.

Has anyone encountered anything like this?

to me it just looks like you are using a soft edged brush. Check your softness.

Can you show us a screen shot of your Brushes panel so we can see what variations are checked? And it would be helpful to know which brushes you are using in your artwork...

Thanks,
