Reference: Troubleshooting
This topic describes some of the reasons why a brushstroke may not appear:
• Main color — In the Color panel, what color is the Main Color (front) swatch? Is
it a color that will show up when applied to your image? If not, click the Main
Color swatch, and then set a different color.
• Opacity — Check the Opacity setting on the property bar and, if necessary, adjust
the pop-up slider to increase opacity.
• Brush method — The brush method determines the basic nature of a brush. To
check the brush method, choose Window Brush Control Panels General. If
you’re drawing with a light color on a dark background, the method must be set to
Cover in order to show the lighter color.
• Drawing mode — When you make a selection, the drawing mode determines what
part of the selection is protected. For more information, see “Choosing the
protected area of a selection” on page 554.
