Hi there!

 

Thanks for the update. I wanted to share that the [ and ] shortcut keys that enlarge my brush size seem to be broken on my system after this latest update. Best!

1. Edit > Keyboard Shorcuts >

2. Scroll all the way down

3. Delete the shortcuts for 'Show Previous Layer Boundry' and 'Show Next Layer Boundry'

Worked on macOS beta for me. Will test on Windows when I get home tonight.

 

I appreciate the continuous improvements being made to Photoshop. However, I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the feature that will display the previous/next layer boundary. While this feature might be useful in certain scenarios, I find it challenging to see its necessity in my workflow.

 

As an avid user, I frequently change brush sizes for a variety of tasks, including photo retouching, composing/compositing scenes, creating collages, coloring illustrations, drawing/line work, digital painting, making adjustments on artwork, retouching type or logos, designing icons, preparing vector art, adjusting traps for separations, character design, making patterns, and adjusting layer and filter masks. In essence, changing brush sizes is an integral part of my process almost every time I use Photoshop.

 

Thank you for considering this feedback. I believe that focusing on enhancing core functionalities like brush resizing would greatly benefit many users.

There is a known issue with the latest beta version V25.11 m.2679.  It appears that square bracket shortcuts have been used for the new Layer Bounds feature.  To fix this go into Edit > Keyboard Shortucts > Tools and remove those shortcuts.  The square brackets will then adjust brush size again.

Uso o atalho do teclado [ e ] pra aumentar e diminuir os pinceís, mas no Beta eu não consigo. Alguém sabe se preciso fazer alguma configuração específica?

a última versão (25.11) tá assim. tentei descobrir se era questão de configuração ou bug, mas não achei nada. voltei pra 25.10 até sair uma nova atualização pra ver como vai estar
