Hey, recently downloaded the newer version of photoshop and one thing that bugs me is that when i use the keyboard shortcut to increase/decrease the size of a brush is goes up by twenty five for each time i press on the keyboard. I would like to know if theres a way to reduce the amount it goes up and down by.

The Alt (Opt) right click and drag is pretty controllable.

Left and right controls size, and up and down controls hardness

I use the Express Wheel on my Wacom Intuos, but that uses the square bracket shortcuts, so increments brush size by the values showed in post #3. Using the right click menu and highlighting the size field, is to flaky to be useful, and I don't know of a shortcut that gives fine control. So I would definitely support a feature request.

Having said that, now you have put the idea in my head, I think I will make actions to increase and decrease brush size by one pixel, and trigger with a shortcut. I have a feeling there might be an Extension that gives this sort of control.

No, I could't find one

By default, Photoshop will increase the size like this

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 - 15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50 - 60,70,80,90,100 - 125.150.175.200 - 250.300.400.500.600. and so on

What you can do is open the brush option (right click) highlight the number and use the "Up ARROW" key in your keyboard to go 1 by one. and add the shift key to go 10 by 10

Hi Shafiq,

Could you please try resetting the preferences of Photoshop and let us know if it helps with the issue?

Will it solve the issue of how much the brush size will increase for every time i press on the keyboard?

To give an example: i have my brush increase set to S and my brush decrease set to A , so the "problem" is that when i want to increase or decrease the brush size i would like to be able to press and hold A or S to get a smoother, more accurate brush size. The integer of 25 is too high for me.

Do you know what i mean by this?
