P: alt+right click drag resize opacity lock

Would be great to have an option that will lock opacity when resizing my brush with alt+right click drag, There is one for brush hardness, but never found one for opacity!

We have added a preference in the most recent Beta release (27.6 20260404.m3493) that allows you to disable vertical HUD adjustments for opacity. This will also be in the next upcoming release.

@khellstr , what are you talking about? 

 

Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible? 

How exactly did you create the Layer?

This will never be a task they prioritize I fear, we need to hope for an employee on that team to basically get to this on their own time. 😕😕
Dunno if there is some photoshop community where we could get a survey or petition going? Until we can show there are many of us affected by this it could be hard to get things moving.

I assume that adding that option to properties would take about 15 min, from which 10 minutes would go to reporting and accaunting.  In my understangin from the little I have done scripts and modifiactions to other softwares, it is quite easy to disable something that exist. As there is already option to choose between Hardness/Opacity, it might be possible that this would be solved with one or two lines of a code. 

So maybe some devekopper at Adobe could take a breake from exiting AI stuff for a while, as fun it is, and do few lines some usefull development and write few lines of code that actually improves the tools we work with, not just add more pretty toys to it. 

For me this seems to be either issue of total negligence for the actual needs of customers, or somekind of issue in communicating. But this is a problem has a straigth forward solution that is easy to implment, so it can not be technical issue or lack of recources.

Logged in just to +1 this. It's ridiculous how this is still an issue.

This is a very basic feature and an absolute must have for painters/illustrators/concept artists who are used to change brush size with drag and drop, but don't want their opacity to change constantly.
I really hope that it will be added soon
