My watermark brush is transparent

[Mads Hildebrandt]

I've created a logo on a transparent layer. It's an eclipse with a carbon pattern and my name going through with a downloaded metallic style. I've made it into a brush, but when I use it on my images, the logo is half transparent and I can see color from the image shining through. How can that be? When I add my watermark to a perfectly white area on an image, there is no problem. But how do I make it so that other colors won't show through?

Just a thought but have to checked the mode and opacity settings of the brush

The brush is all fine, that ain't the problem. Thanks though

Can you please post a screenshot with the watermark on a colored background and the settings visible?

if the brush has grey-tones it will shine through

Oh, it does. Very much.

Guess, I have to save it as a .pdf and import it to my images, right?

Howcome his face turn so red when uploaded here, is it because of compression?

If you yourself have made any adjustments to the man in the image, then I would guess that your monitor is out of calibration.

I have edited it myself from raw. And my iMac was calibrated this month with the spyder elite 5. In PS the image looks perfect. But to fit here in the thread I opened the .jpg of the image and set the imagesize to 3500xsomething I can't remember. And when I see the image here in the thread, he look way more reddish than in PS.

I'm at work now, but I'll check later if the image I uploaded was an older version of the one I was working on. But I don't think so.
