Hello! I was about to make a banner today and i needed to do a straight line, when i did this with 0% hardness, it comes up like this http://prntscr.com/e4xfol it looks all grainy and it looks like the noise is massive, im not sure about this!

I don't know how to fix but need it fixing ASAP!

Many Thanks, Harry

You need to reduce the spacing for a start. The brush is stamping down with quite gap

5% would work well.

It looks ever so slightly like either brush or layer might be set to Dissolve, but we'd need to be looking at a low zoom ratio for that to be true.   It would be easier to see it against a white background.

Have a flick though the brush panel settings for that preset.  Especially the Shape Dynamics and Transfer.

The bottom line here is that even a fully soft brush does not create totally smoove  gradients, and you need to apply Gaussian blur to finish the effect.

Looks like a special brush preset.   You could open the brush presets window and choose a more appropriate one.  Or you can simply reset your Brush tool to default settings.
