Hello!

I use photoshop at work on Mac and at home on PC very often with my Wacom tablet. It's slowed me down getting mixed up. Is there any way possible to change the shortcuts at work and at home to be as similar as possible? Mainly just resizing the brush throws me off since I like to use CTRL + OPTION for Mac vs the right click (on my pen) + alt for PC.

Any help would be amazing, thanks!

What Wacom tablet are you using? If it is an Intuos, then the express wheel is my preferred method of changing brush size. I used to only use the Brush Size option because it was too slow toggling between the standard four options, but I now alternate the Express Wheel between Brush Size and Rotate Canvas, so I never need to hit the Toggle more than once to get the option I need.

Thank you so much, Trevor.Dennis! This is the perfect way to make Mac and PC Photoshop the same so I can work without having to stumble often with shortcuts from different operating systems.

I edited my ExpressKeys at home and at work with their respective shortcuts for the Brush Size/Hardness hot keys; (Alt + R click) Window and (Control + Option) Mac, then for me I just hold the ExpressKey now so it doesn't matter which OS I'm on in Photoshop.
