  • Drat! Newbie Q: adjusting brush size from keyboard?

    Posted by Eric Chard on October 26, 2005 at 4:11 am

    Drat! I’m pretty sure there’s a way to do this, but it’s one of those Google-resistant questions:

    So, what’s the hotkeys for sizing the brushes?

    THANKS!

    Ahhh, thanks so much.

    Wouldn’t a nice big poster of hotkeys be swell?

    Well it’s not a poster but it’s in photoshop.
    Go Edit-keybord Shortcuts and in drop down list: Shortcuts for:Tools, it’s right there.

    Not in 7.0 it ain’t. And something I could look over to would IMO be more workflow friendly.

    For that matter, I’d like two-level tooltips too: the existing short reminder, plus a longish tooltip that included things like brush sizing info– i.e. related stuff. 0.25 seconds, you get the existing tooltip. 1.0 sec, you get the long version. 3 seconds, it launches HELP at that tool’s entry.

    I actually had a paint app that would do the first two– it was sweet.
