First, always make sure you are painting the mask, and not the layer.

So remember with layer masks, black in the mask = 100% transparent. Any level of gray between equals that much transparency.

You can always paint the mask with 100% black, and then go to the masks palette and turn the opacity of the actual mask down to 90% (see below)



If you cannot find the masks palette in your current interface, go to Window > Masks.

Another way to accomplish this is to just use your brush set to 100% opacity and use #414042 instead of solid black to paint in the mask.
