Hi, I am fairly new to Adobe but steadily increasing my knowledge of Lightroom Classic and Photoshop through regular use. Amazing applications with intuitive interfaces, for the most part. I'm on the most current releases of Lightroom Classic (12.2) and Photoshop (24.2), and I am a Windows 11 user.
I have this one issue that has been nagging me for months, and for the life of me I cannot figure out why Adobe isn't doing anything about it.
In Lightroom Classic, when I am applying a mask, using a brush, gradient, object, whatever, I can easily adjust the size of that brush etc. by rotating the center wheel of my mouse one way or the other, for a smaller or larger brush etc. respectively. Easy and intuitive.
On the Photoshop side, not so easy. Unless I am missing something, the only way for me to adjust brush size is for me to first select the brush dropdown option in the upper toolbar, then drag the slider one way or the other to resize the brush. And I can't see what size I modified it to unless I move that brush (active mouse area) over into the live section of the picture in Photoshop, then go back and forth between the drop down/slider and the picture until I get the brush size just right.
It would be so much easier and intuitive if the Photoshop brush sizing process were the exact same as the brush sizing process for Lightroom Classic. Would it be that difficult for Adobe to incorporate that same functionality in some future release?
If I am completely missing some other way to adjust my brushes in Photoshop besides using the center wheel of the mouse, please let me know. I'm not interested in combinations of keys or some hot key setup that would make the process even more complicated, but if someone knows of an easier way to adjust brush sizes in Photoshop versus the drop down menu/slider combination, I'm all ears.
Again, I am a Windows 11 user, so I am looking for Windows-specific input, thanks.
Thank you.
