: Why does the Pencil tool make pixels transparent, and show the background color over current pixels? I recently had a problem with Photoshop I haven't had before. When I draw with the Pencil
I recently had a problem with Photoshop I haven't had before. When I draw with the Pencil Tool on, or next to, an existing pixel, it makes the color the background color. This started yesterday.
Today, when I started working, the same problem still occurs, and now my pixels are all semi-transparent. I don't recall clicking any buttons that I don't usually, and haven't done anything new with the software.
I added a Youtube link to my problem (its awful quality, my computer is trash) but you can see that my pixels are semi-transparent, where you can see the color and the background squares. You can also see how when I draw over lines, the cyan background color starts drawing instead of the reddish color thats selected as the foreground color.

Turn off Auto-Erase on the top of your screen. The feature is really weird in its implementation and I've yet to find a purpose for it (to be fair I also almost always use Brush not Pencil).
It basically tries to detect if you're on a previously drawn line and if so it automatically draws with the background color instead of the foreground color.
