P: alt+right click drag resize opacity lock

but if you drag up/down, it changes the opacity, which I'm sure most people don't want to do since they're already using a tablet pen with pressure sensitivity.

I use vertical for hardness and the problem with the movements does not seem to affect all users, anyway. 

Edit: … at least not all the time. 

@c.pfaffenbichlerit's not a setup problem, but a PS feature: the "alt+right click drag" shortcut to resize the brush (dragging left/right)

Everyone who uses PS to paint likes to use this shortcut since it's faster than hitting [[[ a bunch of times to make big changes (in my case professionally, so I get extra annoyed when I keep having to redo the work because I keep stumbling on this issue) - but if you drag up/down, it changes the opacity, which I'm sure most people don't want to do since they're already using a tablet pen with pressure sensitivity.

The thing is, since we're (unfortunately) not robots, it's impossible to drag the pen or mouse in a *PERFECT HORIZONTAL ANGLE*, so we end up getting slight, almost unnoticeable changes in opacity together with the resizing, which basically makes all of us want to throw all Adobe high executives out the window (nothing personal).

Please fix this? It's such a simple stupid thing that gets in the way, and also kind of surprising that a software with so many years of developing still has something as stupid as up/down PLUS left/right drag adjusting combo like this, we don't use a physical ruler to be able to be this accurate.


Solution suggestions:

• let us select which properties this shortcut affects in the Preferences menu - also with the option of "do nothing" (by far the best one)
• locking initial direction when using the shortcut - if I start dragging right/left it will ONLY affect brush size, even if I drag up/down during

• locking opacity changes in the toolbar (universal)
• locking opacity changes in the brush settings (although it would be annoying to do this with every brush - still better than nothing)

@khellstr , what are you talking about? 

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

How exactly did you create the Layer? 

This will never be a task they prioritize I fear, we need to hope for an employee on that team to basically get to this on their own time. 😕😕
Dunno if there is some photoshop community where we could get a survey or petition going? Until we can show there are many of us affected by this it could be hard to get things moving.

I'm so damn tired to this.... 
..everytime I need solid color I have this 99% stuff. 

Please Adobe. Fix this. It should be very simple thing to disable something. 

Still relevant, i need this feature aswell.

I assume that adding that option to properties would take about 15 min, from which 10 minutes would go to reporting and accaunting.  In my understangin from the little I have done scripts and modifiactions to other softwares, it is quite easy to disable something that exist. As there is already option to choose between Hardness/Opacity, it might be possible that this would be solved with one or two lines of a code. 

So maybe some devekopper at Adobe could take a breake from exiting AI stuff for a while, as fun it is, and do few lines some usefull development and write few lines of code that actually improves the tools we work with, not just add more pretty toys to it. 

For me this seems to be either issue of total negligence for the actual needs of customers, or somekind of issue in communicating. But this is a problem has a straigth forward solution that is easy to implment, so it can not be technical issue or lack of recources. 

Here you go, Adobe. Two ideas on how solve this issue, I'm sure there are many others, just make this happen for the love of god.

Logged in just to +1 this. It's ridiculous how this is still an issue.
