CS5 Brush Opacity?

[Scott1970]

I am trying to use the brush tool to remove 'halo' from dust inside a museum glass display case around a mineral specimen. Whatever default presets I was set on, the brush seemed to have 100% opacity -- one pass and it was covered.

Damn cat jumped on my keyboard while I was working and hit a bunch of keys -- now, it takes many passes to get the same effect.

Any idea how to reset?

Check out what the flow setting is.

You rock. That was it.

It was 50% -- setting to 100% gave me what I wanted.

How did I not see that? I had checked hardness and opacity, but missed flow.

Now, I am wondering whether it was always set that way, but the previous adjustments I was making were to erase faint glare and halo from a dusty museum display case, and the less-than-perfect opacity was unnoticeable.

there should be a box with a brush on the upper left, click on that, then click on the arrow and chose reset tool, it will reset to default settings
