What actually happens when I 'enable airbrush-style build-up effects'?

I currently have a blank layer open, filled with the colour white.

I've been painting strokes of black onto the layer, firstly with 'enable airbrush-style build-up effects' on. Then with it off.

I have my brush on 100% opacity and 10% flow when 'enable airbrush-style build-up effects' is both on and off.

I am unable to see the difference between the different strokes of brush, after having brushed several times (10 each) with the effect on and off.

I have an idea of what the effect is suppose to do, however as I am not seeing any change my mind isn't fully understanding.

Also: Yes I already restarted Photoshop to make sure the program wasn't glitching.

Lastly, thank you in advance for any comments and posts, which are helpful and informative.

    Hi ChadPT,

    When you enable the Air brush style build up effect on the top near flow, you have to lower the flow to around 40 - 50%, after that click and hold on the canvas and without leaving the mouse button start drawing to get the airbrush style effect.

      Hey Sahil,

      I actually figured out the problem after I had posted this. However thank you for your post nonetheless!
