: Color selection tool can select colors of varying saturations, but brush does not paint the selected color I am unable to paint using any colors that blend neutral colors with whatever other

I am unable to paint using any colors that blend neutral colors with whatever other color is on the palette. I found the color selection tool can select neutral (unsaturated) colors, but the selection ring has to be as far over to the left as possible. The moment you move off the edge it will paint the boldest (100% saturated) color available on that height. I can use color swatches to paint pure white or black, but I cannot use the swatches to paint the gradients. Things I've tried without success:

1.Checked that nothing abnormal was enable in brush settings

2.Image>Mode>RGB color

3. Changed GPU settings from advanced to basic (restarted the program) and nothing worked. I reverted to advanced after confirming that did not work.

4. I can replicate this problem across new projects, and after restarting PS.
Below are images that show the problem.

5. Reset entire computer

Screenshots of the problem






NOTE: If I switch from using the brush tool to pencil tool I am able to use gradients.

I am fairly new to PS, and hope this is just a rookie mistake. Thanks for your help.

Seems to me the problem is with the brush tool correct? If the Pencil Tool works great, then let's look at the brush tool.



Be sure you are painting in "Normal" Mode, and that Opacity and Flow are at 100%. Go to your brush settings.



Either select a Brush Preset or unclick evrything to leave your brush as simple as possible. My guess is you probably have something in Color Dynamics, specifically Saturation Jitter.



If this doesn't fix it, post screen shots of your brush settings.
