Alt-right click-drag: brush adjust not working in CC 2018

[underarock]

I have been working in 2018 that came out today and have noticed the alt-right click-drag function that changes the size and hardness of the brush no longer works. 

anyone else having this problem?

[paulbkim]

I'm having the same issue as well. Alt - Right click - Drag works fine with my mouse, but does not work with my Cintiq pen. I too get the eye dropper color picker.

Using a Wacom 27 Cintiq 27QHD.

Hi, i'm having this exact issue and it's been completely preventing me from working since the 2018 update. The path described in the solution doesn't exist for me. Photoshop is located at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018.

I tried adding the exact file you descrived to that folder (there isn't any "settings" folder in there either) and it didn't work.

I don't know what to do. I use a cintic 22Hd, playing with every options in the wacom center did nothing. Ofc I tried updating drivers and reinstalling photoshop, and the situation with work is getting really dire for me.

I could not find the "pen and touch" option JJMack described anywhere either in my wacom desktop center.

Here's how my photoshop folder looks like. Didn't find any other on my computer.

You path you should use for your PSUserConfig.txt is not in the program folder, it's in your user folder:

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018\Adobe Photoshop CC 2018 Settings

Absolutely. And as I said earlier, if you can't find that App Datafile (like me) it's because you didn't check the Hidden items box, in the view section of Windows explorer.

Thanks for the answers everyone, I actually just found the option in the wacom center to disable windows script messing with the right clic, and it finally fixed it. Sorry it's in french, posting it still as it maybe could help someone with the same UI (almost everyone I know who updated windows and photoshop are having it)

This did work allowing me to alt+right click to change the brush size; however, it seems to also disable size size jitters via pen pressure for me

[tarcisio_al]

Same here. I still did't found a solution... Or without pressure, or without the alt+right click shortcut. Please somebody provides any help....

THANK YOU!!!!

[calaquendi]

This solved my problem thank you so much!

pressure is not working

[evrenince]

Shape dynamics properties disappear ?

[rickardl81706468]

It does, it's just that one of the folders are hidden.

Go to C:\Users\[Your user name]\  once there open the SHOW menu top of the window and check the Hidden Objects option. Now you see the AppData folder and can navigate to the right folder.

I hope it helps!

Thank you so much for providing a working solution! I was going insane over not being able to change brush settings with my Wacom pen anymore. Saving the config file did the job!

gustavov56104222 's answer worked for me! Cintiq 13HQ.

[Hendrik6373]

thank you, this was a good tip, everything works as it should 🙂

[knsaber]

Wow, the text solution worked for me! Just saved it under Photoshop 2018 folder instead of 2015.

The PSUserConfig worked for me with photoshop...but anyone know how to fix the similar issue with camera raw in bridge? used to just right click drag to adjust brush size when using the adjustment brush now it doesnt work with stylus

[JJMack]

Right Click and drag seems to go through the motion of changing tip size but does not change the setting with Wacom support set to use INK or Wintab API in ACR.  The  [  ] keys  do work.

Pen pressurs does not see to work eith in ACR.

In Photoshop  pen pressure seem to work for me in with Wacon set either way with the PSConfig.txt file

[mikem25040844]

Thank you Gustavo. Your solution worked for me. Thanks too to the insight to click "hidden files" in the view section of Widows Explorer.

[Osxar]

Thank you so much ❤️

[JayelDraco]

So I had this working using the PSUserConfig.txt

The solution was golden... then this morning, I restarted my computer, windows had updated something and it stopped working again... I'm suspect it has something to do with Windows Ink, but what do I know... At anyrate, I NEED to get this fixed ASAP... Anybody know what to do?

[whitetree_henry]

Don't know if this help you any, but when Adobe Photoshop updates to a newer version, you have to copy or move the PSUserConfig to the new folder for that version.

Thank you guys. This has been driving me nuts. Microsoft, Adobe and Wacom: sort it out! This is a ludicrous over sight.

[jakinm37539165]

What worked for me is that I went to pen settings and instead of setting "right click" to one of the pen buttons, I chose "modifier" and set the "Keys" to "Alt" and the "Clicks" to "Right". So now, the brush adjustment is just one pen button away. Hope it helps you guys out!
