hi! i'm new here and to painter x and have a question

i was using the simple water brush (default settings) to paint. everything was going really well. i then took my image into photoshop quick to clean up line work. when i put it back into painter again to paint my simple water brush was giving me a different effect

how my brush is set before

now using the same brush again with same color, its coming so much darker. it looks like its interacting with the paint underneath it now, where as before i was painting fine on top of it

i haven't been able to find an answer yet. maybe i had some other setting on my brush to make it so "light" but i cannot guess to as what, or photoshop messed up something

also, if i hide this layer, and start a new layer and paint on it, everything is fine on that layer. its just this layer that is wierd and gives darker colors. the layer settings look fine to me so i can't figure it out

any help is appreciated thakns :)

Hi ahms,

Among the many bits of Painter-specific information that are lost when the file is saved to any other format than Painter's native RIFF is wet Digital Watercolor paint.

Again, in order to continue working on the file using Painter-specific information, you need to save the file in RIFF format and only work on the RIFF file.

That's why, after saving the file to a format Photoshop understands, then opening the file again in Painter, when you paint even with the same color over what was previously wet Digital Watercolor paint, the new brush strokes appear darker than the original color.
