Option Right click dragging mouse does not work to change size/hardness of the brush tool

[Maxence254032452xfp]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find out why the shortcut to change the brush size/hardness is not working.

Option key + right click + dragging the mouse does not work. 

I feel like I've tried everything (every keys on my keyboard, even installing previous versions of PS...).

I am using a French keyboard (Azerty). I mention it in case it can impact the shortcut...

Any help welcome.

Thanks!

Maxence

On a mac it's Ctrl + Option left click and drag left or right.

Hardness is same shortcut only drag up or down.

Opacity can be adjusted instead of Hardness if in

Photoshop>Preferences>Tools one unchecks

Vary Round Brush Hardness

based on HUD vertical movement.
