The team is aware of this and will have a fix in an upcoming release.

 

Temp workaround is to remove new addition of Key Board Short Cut for layer boundary.

Hi @andrewm35765582 

 

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings


Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

I found a workaround that so far has been working for me. I have modified the keyboard shortcut to the following settings. Even though I set new shortcut keys for brush size, the bracket keys somehow start working again.

My left and right brackets still work in regular PS, but as of today no longer change my brush size in Beta. I reset preferences, restart Photoshop Beta and my laptop, but no dice. I also uninstalled Beta and reinstalled. They still do not work.

Photoshop Beta 25.11.0

After updating, I noticed that the keyboard shortcuts for changing the brush size no longer worked.  (I use a Tour Box for this, but the keyboard didn't work either)  In the Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts menu, both the Increas/Decreas Brush Size and Show Previous/Next Layer Boundry were assigned the [ and ] keys.  Changing the Layer Boundry shortcuts to something else (< and > in my case) restored the expected Brush Size functions to the [ and ] keys.

Hi! Thanks for the heads up! Did you try resetting the Brush tools to see if that fixes the issue?

I forgot to ask if you know how to do that!?! With the brush tool selected, Go to the options bar and from the Preset tool menu, select the dropdown to see the brush tool presets. Select the gera icon on the right side of the dropdown, and from the menu choose Reset tool. See if that makes a difference?

I see in another thread this has been reported to Adobe and they suggested a similar workaround.

I just updated photoshop and now the brush size is not working to change brush bigger or smaller with the [ or ]  shortcut.

I restarted my computer, tried seaching shortcut modifications but nothing is working.

However the {} is working to change softness.

I cant get any work done when i keep having to go to the top and manully get the right size brush every few seconds. 
Anyone have an easy reset fix to this? Or is this a bug from updating?
Its really messing with my editing schedule.

@Alyssa5C65 try manually resetting your Photoshop preferences

Remember to back up your settings before doing the preference reset

After the latest beta update the brush size keyboard shortcut keys [ ] stopped working.  This is happening on both Windows and Mac.

Is this something I can re-enable, or do I need to wait for another software revision?
