Question

Legacy pencil brush not increasing size

Hi,

 

My Legacy pencil brush not increasing size while I changed to size around 10 or more.

I am using the brush tool, but it looks worse on the pencil tool. I can't even breathly see the brush stroke at all.

 

I haven't set any setting on the brushes yet. I tried the Alt+Ctrl+Shift to reset the Photoshop but it still stays the same. I checked to mark the Legacy performance setting too.

 

The first image is from a tutorial video, it is the pencil tool, the size is 20-25.

But mine it looks way too tiny. 

The second image is after I reset all the settings and checked the legacy performance mark.

I am using a Wacom tablet. I do not have any issues while using other painting programs.

 

( I did see a recent post with the same problem around 2019 in adobe support community, but it didn't help me.)

This image I copy from 2019 post with the same problem.

I do not see this. At all.

Mine is just a cross mark with a point.

Thanks!

What Wacom tablet are you using?  Did you upgrade the drivers?  and what version of PS are you using?

Is your Caps Lock key on? If it is you get what is called the precision cursor.

You could also check Preferences > Cursors to make sure that Normal is chosen.

Hi,

My Caps Lock was off while I using the brush and the Normal Brush Tip is chosen by default.

Hi M ishi,

 

Did you by any chance find a solution for this problem yet? I still have the same issue with the same brush.
