It worked! I applied the same for the brush I originally had this problem with: I moved the color layer to a new image with transparency, saved it as PNG and imported it. Thank you @sprayer and @Carlosan!!

Thank you for trying to help me. It's even weirder since I have also installed the 4.9.40 macOS version on my Mac using the free trial and the same issue appears anyway. EDIT: I'm sorry but it still doesn't seem to work EDIT2: Enabling "Paint with dabs" helps with the problem but it's more like a "treatment for the symptoms" than a definitive fix, as there are still multiple black dots that keep appearing. I've played around with the size and blur of the Color layer but it didn't have any effect.

Yes I downloaded the latest version, the issue still persists. Those settings are all at 0 and depth is deactivated. Pushing fall-off up to 80% seems to help: I also downloaded a brush you made that I have found on another thread on this forum and it works perfectly with falloff at 0%. Mine are setup exactly like that one so I'm really confused. pen(1).psd

Hmm none of these seem to have an effect. I have another very simple brush to try to find what causes the problem. As you can see, my brush is a simple sharp white circle. But in 3DC, the alpha that displays on the cursors has some sort of "elevation" on it: lighter borders on top, dark borders on the botton. The dark edges seem to follow these unwanted "shadows". (Sorry for the low quality. I only have an Amateur license and am limited to 2048 size textures) It also seems like this testing brush has the same problem even with bigger radius. I'm practically convinced this is due to some sort of setting I'm overlooking in the software. brushtest.psd

Yes they are both at 0. Could you please show your brush options? Are there any other settings that I don't know of that could be causing this?

Thank you for your help. However I'm still getting the issue when the brush radius is < 1.200 for some reason. I've found that disabling "Rotation along stroke" kind of helped a little, but there are still some ugly dark edges going on.

Hi everyone. I have a problem with an alpha brush I've installed. When I use a smaller brush radius (~ 1.200), dark edges begin to appear on my strokes. I've looked at a few threads reporting similar issues. My brush appears to have been set up properly so I don't understand what's going on. Thanks in advance.
