The problem I am having is my smudge brush will no long smudge, all it does is color with whatever color I currently have selected. I ran into this problem last night when switching between brushes (from a soft brush to a shaped brush), and as soon as I switched, the smudge brush no longer worked as it was supposed to. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling photoshop (including restarting my system), and it reinstall with everything as it was even if everything was completely removed.

I am confused as to the original issue, as well as how to fix the problem of it installing with everything as it was before I uninstalled Photoshop.

If anyone has a fix for either of these issues, I would be very grateful!
