I'm trying to remove a background, which is simple enough. However, when I'm trying to refine the selection with a paintbrush it's doing strange things and I can't find the setting that's causing it 🤯🤯🤯
On the layer mask, if I paint black it's fine. However, if I paint white I seem to have an opacity issue. I end up with a faint view of the underlying picture and the transparent boxes.
Repainting makes no difference.
My settings are (those I know about!):
Paintbrush...
opacity 100%, flow 100%, smoothing 0%, hardness 100%, brush hard round 123 1, spacing 5%, brush tip - smoothing
Can anyone suggest anything I can look at? I'm going crazy.
thanks,
tina

Thanks,
I was just after a suggestion or two and you gave them.
Thanks. It was an erroneous white. I'm struggling to see how I didn't spot that!!
Am just kicking my shin against the table!
Thanks again,
Tina
