Hello
I am a new Photoshop user and very much a novice. I am finding that my brush will not work with white, either when working on masks or painting directly on an image.
All other colors and black work fine, but when I switch my color to white, the brush leaves no mark on images or masks.
I would much appreciate any suggestions

White is erase.

Certainly the case when drawing on a mask layer, but not on an ordinary image layer.
You should be able to paint with white.
As a test create a two layered document and fill the bottom layer with a dark colour. Then move to the layer above and set the colour to white and draw away. You should see the paint lines, assuming you've set the brush to have a large enough diameter (which you should see an outline of).

Make sure your painting mode is set to normal. If it is set to darken, a brush will not do anything with white the chosen color.

Thank you Bryan, that was my problem exactly.

Glad I could help. I remembered that from past experience...I spent hours a few years ago trying to correct the same problem.
