In Photoshop 22.4.2. (Apple Silicon) on my M1 Mac Mini running on Big Sur 11.4, adjusting the brush size while right clicking is not possible.
When right clicking and attempting to drag-adjust the brush size it only shows the normal window where I have to manually set the size & hardness.
As I'm coming from Windows, where this always worked - did I miss something or is this a known bug?
I thought I had the same issue, tried all different key press options except one... I feel so dumb but somehow didn't try this one:
CONTROL + OPTION + LEFT (!) CLICK
On Mac it's NOT right click 🙂

Hi
For Windows the shortcut is ALT + right click and for the MAC it's OPT + CMD and click

Thanks a lot for the reply. Unfortunately, this doesn't work either. I also can't change the brush size using my Wacom Tablet. Usually on Windows it worked just fine when right clicking on the pen and then dragging it to adjust the brush size/hardness. Is there a possibility that Photoshop is misconfigured for Mac or something in the System Settings? I left everything on default so it seems unlikely to me.

Try ctrl-alt click-dragging (edit: with the left button).

2 years later! I just bought my first M3 Pro macbook and coming from windows, without the ability to change brush size click draging digital art is a different sport. Thank you so much, had a tough couple of days looking for this.

I found a way to solve it on my Mac M1:
I've put click (nothing else) on the lower button of the pen and CTRL + Option on one of the buttons. It's work around, but it finally works!

Remember to click OK!
This setting now allows adjusting the brush size and hardness with Ctrl & Option Left-click and drag.This may be a bug in MacOS because I tried turning it on again and the result remained the same 😲. A restart would probably cause the problem again, so leave it off and hit OK to lock it in.

Nice bro, I got the same problem, but I don't understand where do you find the "settings", there's no one option on the Photoshop menu (bar). Can you pls be more specific 😞 .... thanks a lot anyway!

hey Folks I'm new to mac's previously working on windows. I can not fix this issue, using the wacom pen and tablet, how do i left click on the pen?

Just click, right click should work with ctrl-clicking.
Or assign the clicks to the button on the pen.

@c.pfaffenbichler Thx for comming back, unfortunatly its still not working for me. I have chosen right click on the bottom pens button, i tryed the click on the pens tip. Right click + Ctrl. is not working, Opt + Ctrl+ Click and drag is also not working. When right clicking i get the bush setting pop-up and when Opt+Ctrl+click and drag I'm duplicating the top layer.
Any othe solutions please?

Well, isn’t that what right-click should accomplish for the Brush Tool?
I might not understand what the problem is yet.

I tried all of the community tips and solutions, but so far no luck for me.

If the right-click does not combine with a modifier have you tried assigning multiple modifiers right away?
