Colors are transparent even though the opacity is at 100%

[kailah49252584]

So I'm using photoshop right now and I am trying to use the brush tool, but for some reason every color I use is coming out extremely light even thought the opacity is at 100%. How do I fix this!? What am I doing wrong?

What is the opacity of the layer you are on?

its at 100%

Are you working inside of a group? If so, there may be opacity set to the top level of the group which will affect all layers in that group, even though the other layers are set to 100%.

no group just 1 single layer

We'll need to see a screen shot including your options bar, layers panel, and brush settings so we can better assist.

the only way it starts to get less transparent is just by constantly clicking in the same spot. I still want to have that gradient but I still need the saturated colors in the middle.

What is the blending mode (and opacity) of the brush itself?

Oh my goodness. The brush opacity was at 10%. I've been working all day and night and forgot about the brush opacity thank you so much to everyone that helped. I am going to crawl back under a rock and go back to work lol. Thank you so much
