Please help.

When I start with a photograph and the first edit is done, the opacity is often dialed all the way to 100% which is a bit much.

Once I dial opacity back, I cannot use the brush tool anymore. At. All. I tried turning off the Face Sculpt control because I also read in a previous thread that that would work. But it's not working.

So basically I have a beautiful headshot and I don't need the skin to be unusually smooth, so dialed back the opacity from 100% to 21 and WHAM...no way to take care of some spots on her face. The brush tool simply doesn't do anything. I do have the brush strength at 100% and such...

Anyone? Probably somethign really simple but I am new to Portrait Professional.

Hello ulliklein,

Your issue is occurring because you have set the opacity to 21. The Brush itself is working, but the effect is not visible as the reduced opacity makes the changes more transparent. You'll notice that the areas you've used the touch up brush on will be over-edited if you set the opacity back up to 100. A good workaround to deal with the blemishes and maintain the reduced opacity is to increase the spot removal sensitivity.

Hope this is of some help.
