Photoshop brush softness/hardness stopped working???

[kdayle815]

It's the most bizarre thing! The softness/hardness of my brushes has stopped working entirely...I don't get what's going on. I even tried re-installing photoshop (CS3). You can still move the slider to adjust the "hardness"...but it has absolutely no effect on the brush, it remains at 100%!

Has this happened to anyone else?? I checked my CS2 and it's still working fine. I'm completely stumped and frustrated. I also tried reloading my brushes...still none of them will soften.

AH..nm...I just tried reinstalling again and it's back to normal this time...I must say that was *very* weird.

:lol: I had a similar problem but it was with the opacity of the layers.. a re-install fixed that though. I will say, it is odd.
