TIPS for the Brush Tool...

[theKeeper]

Hey here's some more great info about the Brush tool guys:

1) With a brush chosen, hold down the SHIFT key while tapping the left and right square brackets [ & ] -- this will change the softness & hardness of your brush without having to open the main editing window.

2) Pressing just the [ & ] brackets by themselves, will scale your current brush's size by increments of 10 pixels. But smaller than 10 will scale by 1 pixel at-a-time.

3) Pressing just the < & > brackets by themselves, will scroll you through all of the brushes in your Brush palette, in order from start to end.

Try playing around with some other keys and key combos while using the Brush. See what ya find out.

Happy brushing!

I'm using PS 6. Left clicking on the canvas brings up the brush dialog.

thanks for both the tips and the laugh this morning guys

Speaking of brushes I got a couple of free ones yesterday morning one of them was scanned flowers just dying to try them out but yesterday my system was used (as it has plenty of free space) to back up someone else's drive - it only took all day! [confused]

The cheatsheets for individual tools should be useful — but the cool part is when all the cards are collected into a single flip guide. That puts cheatsheets for every Photoshop tool and feature right at your finger tips.
