Brush Control Shortcuts

[Jack]

Somewhere I have notes describing how to control the size and hardness of a brush, by holdingdown keys while dragging the mouse. If one of you would please remind me of what those are, I would be grateful.

You're posting this in the InDesign forum, and InDesign has no brushes. If you tell me what application you want help on, I can forward this to the correct forum.

I'd guess Photoshop, but there are several applications which use brushes.

Sorry, wrong forumm.

This is NOT the InDesign formum. At the top of the page it says Photoshop CC forum.

Hello, Lengo67.

Your are right. I moved Jack 's question from the InDesign forum to the Photoshop forum in case Jack had additional questions or needed clarification on his brush shortcut question.

For Photoshop (and that sure sound like a Photoshop question, Jack 😞

1. 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.
2. On Windows,  Alt +  Right Mouse—drag left right to decrease/ increase brush size and up/down decrease/ increase brush hardness.

Yes, someone already caught that, and I re—posted to PS group, but thanks; very helpful.
