Lights on
When trying to paint around the light for a night setting with a soft yellow brush to mimic 'lights on' I get a series of light circles, as opposed to a soft line of light. What am I doing wrong/what setting is incorrect (cc2014).

Re: Lights on
It sounds like a problem with working in 8-bit, rather than 24-bit colour. What you're seeing is the closest Photoshop can manage to display within its mere 256 colours per channel.

At least, I assume that's the case. Can you post a screen shot?

Re: Lights on
... Or check the spacing on the brush tool is at 0%?

Re: Lights on
GKB: spot on, it was set at 25%. Works perfectly at 0%. Many thanks.
