Photoshop CS6 brushes not performing as standard

Trouble with painting project with fifteen layers so far. Using CS6 from Cloud.  Essentials set to painting mode. Painting in solid black on white bg creates a translucent grey about 20% of solid black.  I am painting top layer with 100% black with solid round basic brush but cannot achieve full strength color. Layer position is arranged on top. Brush settings: Size 100%  Flow 100%: Jitter & spacing - zero.  Maximum hard, Result = grey.
As a test trial I created a new canvas with white bg and hard round brush set 100% size & flow. It paints solid black without a problem.
Conclude that there is something not right in layered project.  Any ideas?

Could you please post a screenshot with the pertinent Panels visible?
Do you mean »Opacity« when you state »Size«?

  • LR4 Problem: The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched.

    Is there a fix for this?  When I try to edit an image in Photoshop from Lightroom 4 (CTRL+E), Photoshop CS6 launches immediately but with no image.  In Lightroom 4, after about two minutes, the message box appears saying "The file could not be edited because Adobe Photoshop CS6 could not be launched."  When I click OK, the image promptly opens in Photoshop CS6 like normal.  This wan an itermittent issue for me after the LR4.1 release.  I was hoping that LR4.2 would help, but now I get the error every time.
    System
    Lightroom 4.2 x64
    Photoshop CS6 v13.0.1 x64
    Bridge 5.0.1.23 x64
    Windows 7 Pro x64
    AMD Six Core / 3.9 Ghz
    16 GB Memory
    NVidia Quadro 1 Gb Video
    Scratch space on three drives

    This may be a cooincidence, I starting having problems after I started using a Nikon D800, which has 36MP files.  LR4 released at the same time as the D800.  LR4 shows signs of struggling with the larger files, which are typically 280MB TIFFs for the D800, like freezing for several seconds when using an adjustment brush or going into a spasm with the crop tool.  Because Photoshop does not have similar large file issues, I'm doing more basic work in Photoshop, like cropping, dodge and burn, exposure adjustment, etc.
    Because Photoshop otherwise runs fine, and appears to read all the prefernes properly mid-issue, to get a better idea of what's going on, I turned on Process Monitor from Technet. For what it's worth, LR4 appears to touch the Photoshop preferences before it launches Photoshop.  LR4 must have a memory leak in that corrupts the Photoshop preferences file in a way that makes no difference to Photoshop.
    My weekend project is to try Capture One to see if I can spend more time on photography and less troubleshooting Adobe problems.  As it stands, LR4 is not usable for me.

    It's strange that you ran the cleaner tool and still didn't worked
    you can try to login to Root user account and then run the cleaner tool , and then check.

    You really need to install the CS6 updates.  You haven't installed any of the updates.
    And you need to update your Intel video card driver.

  • Photoshop CS6 will not open files

    Right after rebooting my computer (Windows 7 Pro) I can open one photo file in CS6 using any normal method of opening a file in Photoshop. After closing that file I cannot open any more files using any method such as>Open Recent, File>Open, or right click open using Photoshop, by selecting the file, double-clicking to open it etc. I also cannot open a file in photoshop CS6 from Lightroom 5 using Photo>Edit In> Photoshop CS6. Everything works in Lightroom when I use Photo>Edit>open in CS6 Photoshop opens but the file doesn't.
    If I reboot my computer I can then open one file using any of those methods, but when I try to open an additional file it will not open. I have run through all the opening Photoshop without plugins suggestions and all the other suggestions about what may cause this problem which I have found on Photoshop Help and Support Center and nothing has worked.
    This started while Lightroom 4.4 and CS6 were on my machine and had been working well for months. Then, suddenly, I couldn't open anything in Photoshop. I know of no changes made to the computer. After trying various suggested solutions I reinstalled Photoshop CS6 and things seemed to be working so I went ahead with updating to Lightroom 5. The same problem popped up in CS6 again. Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 4.4 have both worked with no problems and still do. Photoshop seems to be the problem. I've also run an antivirus which found nothing.
    Any suggestions?

    Others have this same problem. See discussion at Re: Photoshop CS6 does not open or create files
    I finally got CS6 to work but have no idea what I did that caused it to start working properly again.

  • Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate the application

    HELP ME!!!! My trial Photoshop CS6 is not installing properly and i am unable to locate and open the application on my mac. I am just going around in circles from file to file and back to the starting "intall" icon

    I am on the Adobe Download Assistant. It was stuck at "less than a minute" for an hour and a half, showing that the installation was basically done, since the installation bar was full.  But it was stuck.  Now it has stopped all together, and is restarting the download from scratch.
    Apparently it does not save the download, or only saves a small portion.
    c:\adobe/CS6MasterCollection/MasterCollection_CS6_LS16.7z.adadownload
    It is at 85.6 MB, even though a short time ago it was close to 99.9% done with the 6,352 MB download.
    My internet connection is fine, all is working, and I am able to browse, etc.
    I have been careful to keep activity minimal on the computer, so as to avoid conflicts.
    The conflicts are with the Adobe Download Assistant.
    I amabout ready to just give up, and look for alternatives.
    Please help.

  • Photoshop CS6 is not showing any network drives within windows 8.1.

    Photoshop CS6 is not showing any network drives within windows 8.1, I can only browse the local disk for files. Please advise?
    And when i try opening a file directly from the network, photoshop starts but does not open the selected file?

    The dialog you show there looks like it may be a CS6 open dialog running on windows 8.1 that is showing what is local.  Network is not highlighted selected.
    Here is a CC Open one windows 7 pro showing  areas of what is accessible.

  • A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore HELP

    Hi, please help with my issue which is as follows:
    A file which was created and saved using Adobe Photoshop CS6 is not opening anymore and sends a message saying that the file is not compatible.
    What should I do, I have invested so much in that file and I dont think i will be able to do it all over again.

    That's why people do incremental saves and use backups... You could try to open the file in an image viewer like IrfanView and see which parts are salvagable, but that's as good as it gets most likely...
