Brush Opacity Wacom

Hi

 

I love using my wacom to provide more accurate editing; I love I can pess the tabble button and the pen and change size and hardness of brush - move left of right and it inceases and deceases.

 

Opaciy I need to use the computer keyboard to type in numbers.  Ideally I'd love to be albe to control that from the tablet.  I understand pen sensitivety can do it sort off, but I often use 100% having to press harder than my hand wants. Is their a key stroke I can use with the pen to specify opacity, or the ring? 

 

If so what is the keystroke please?

 

Thank you.  I'd love not to need my keyboard

Ok so I can have 2 out of 3,

 

Opacity and brush hardness... but not size

 

I guess I can change that with the dial.

 

Thank you 

 

 


yes this answeed the quesion, as i was able to set opacity and hardness to the horizontal and vertical, and brush size to the dial, or hardness, which ever I usually change least.

 

I would be good to attatch all thee to the pen vertecal, hoizonal and diagonal, clealy not happening yet.

Hi, normally, by default, Edit>Preferences>Tools>Vary Round Brush Hardness based on HUD vertical movement is checked,

If unchecked, you would vary the opacity instead, but I have to check if it could also work on non-round brushes.

nope that doesn't work. sorry

 

I am no wild about pessure senstitivity = opacity, a 100 it would hurt your hand, being able to contol it from tablet accurately - like 70 or 80 etc. Brush pressure is not accuate.

using the dial would be good, orr drraging the brush, to a desired level of opaciy
