'Flow' not working

Question

I'm experimenting with flow in Photoshop, but can't seem to get it to work.

So I've selected a basic brush and set opacity to 100% and flow to 20%.

But even when I keep painting over the same bit, I just end up with a load of flat colour, instead of giving the effect that it's supposed to

See the image below, I am trying to get an effect similar to that on the left... but instead I get what is shown on the right:

Am I doing something wrong or could it perhaps be a bug? I'm using Ps 19.1.0 if that helps

Thanks but I found out on another forum that the problem was due to my 'spacing' being set to '0'

Hi there,

We are sorry about the experience with Photoshop while using the brush tool.

Would you mind sharing the operating system of the computer you are working on? You are currently using an older version of Photoshop. Please update Photoshop to the latest version through the Creative Cloud desktop application and check if the issue persists.

You can also check the mode selected while using the brush tool on the top bar. Please set the mode to normal (if not already) and check if that helps.

Regards,

Nikunj
