As the doctor told his patient, if it hurts to do that, then don't do that!.

Don't smudge from a solid to a transparent area!. If you must use the smudge, flatten the floating transparent layer to a white layer!. Smudge!. Then create a layer mask to make it transparent where you need it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I suspect that you have it in darken mode instead of normal mode!. Select the smudge tool, then have a look at the mode box at the top of the page!. It should say "normal"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

make sure your background color is white!. on the left side there are two black boxes, click the back one and change it to white!.!. it should work!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
