Hi there, I am beginner in Photoshop. I'm using CS6 version of Photoshop. By default, ' [ ' is the shortcut to increase brush size. But in my keyboard, there is no one click access to that key. It is (alt gr + 8). So when ever I try to press ' [ ', I press (alt gr + 8). Thus, Photoshop shortcut is not working for me. how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance


Regards,

Sadiq

You can change keyboard shortcuts to a key that you can access via on your keyboard via Edit > Keyboard shortcuts.

Or you might try using an entirely different shortcut technique:

  • With a painting tool selected, Control + Option (Mac) + drag left/right in order to decrease/ increase brush size. Control + Option (Mac) + drag up/down to decrease/ increase brush hardness.
  • On Windows,  Alt + Right Mouse+drag left right to decrease/ increase brush size and up/down decrease/ increase brush hardness.
