I had a similar problem a while back (and again yesterday). In my case all the brushes went hard edged. The advice was to delete the Preferences file (I don't know where this is in Windows, on a Mac it's in User/Library/Preferences/Adobe Photoshop CS Settings), When you restart Photoshop a new Preference file will be created. This does mean you'll lose your existing preferences, so, as was suggested to me, once everything working again make a copy of the folder so that you can replace the corrupted file should it happen again.

At the time Russell Williams also detailed a way of resetting preferences when launching the application. I don't know if this resets ALL the user-definable settings or not:

1. The first thing to try is just resetting your preferences. If you don't
want to set your color settings again, save them first (just save them in
the default location and they'll show up in the popup menu in the future).
To reset your preferences, hold down cmd+opt+shift (ctrl+opt+shift on
Windows) while launching Photoshop and answer Yes when asked if you want to
reset the settings.


Good luck!
