Ok so I have Photoshop CS4, and for some crazy reason when I add a Layer mask to a layer, and then try to paint with black to "erase" a portion of the image, it DOES erase, BUT not fully! It is as if the transparency is set to like 95%, and I can still see a very light semi transparent ghosted portion of the image. It’s as if it is not fully hiding the pixels. I have checked and I definitely have the opacity of the brush set to 100% and I am using black and not a shade of grey. Any ideas?? I’ve tried turning off the open gl and restarting Photoshop to no avail. And i have also rest the preference file by holding ctl,alt,shift when starting PS.

ALSO… another issues is that when i choose a brush to paint with, if i use the [] bracket keys to increase the size of the brush, at some point About 75% of the brush just disappears! I can still paint with it, and it paints fine, but the "preview" circle that shows the size of the brush is only showing the top left corner! weird stuff. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated and here is the info on my video card and OS.

Are you going to keep telling us about this until the problem is fixed?

Did you read all the thread I linked to in one of your other posts on this subject?

It’s so nice to see the forum patrol is more interested in putting the screws to a visitor than actually providing assistance.

What’s that all about?

As far as I can see everyone was trying to help. If he posts his question in so many threads it just hacks people off trying to keep up.
