CTL+ATL shortcut not working to change brush sizes (Wacom tablet)

I can no longer control my brush size by clicking CTL + ALT. It was working fine two days ago and then went dead. I'm working on a Mac Pro running Sierra 10.12.5 . Is there a bug or conflict going on?

[Title edited by moderator to specify Wacom tablet; also added Wacom tag.]

I just reinstalled the previous version of the Wacom drives and everything is working again. FYI - All you need to do is download and install the drives. Drivers | Wacom

I experienced the same issue with new MacBookPro and current Photoshop. Upgraded myWacom tablet driver and fixed. Shortcut works perfectly now.

Just saw that this is listed as a known issue with this Wacom driver: Issue 476 "If you use two modifier keys on your keyboard along with the pen tip, the function will not work."

I assigned control + option to my top express key and it works fine. But my fingers naturally hit the two keyboard keys-- it's hardwired in my brain and will take a bit of getting used to. Maybe easier to go back to the previous driver. Hope they fix this soon.

Always thought we change the brush size with the bracket keys. And shift bracket [ ] to change the hardness.

I have noticed the same problem and have written to the support desk at Wacom. I'm pretty sure its not a PS issue as my mouse still executes the action. I hope I get it fixed soon its slowing me down a lot.

It may be a Wacom Mac driver problem Just updated photoshop 2017.1.1 and Ctrl + Option isn't working

All I know is on windows I need to add the Right click and hold while draging. Not a left click drag.

You don't need a right click with the Mac. Just Control and Option 🙂

I use a Wacom on Windows Alt+Right Click+Drag still works in CC 2017.1.1. So does the Wacom Touch ring. I know of no Ctrl+Alt shortcut please explain how you use Ctrl+Alt

If you press the CTRL + Option keys at once you change the diameter of the PS brush you're using when you slide/drag the pen on the tablet surface. I was able to do this two days ago and then the shortcut stopped working. Now when I hold down the CTRL+Option keys I only get the brush as a bullseye. I now have to ether change the diameter by using the [ ] keys or by right clicking the pen and calling up the diameter pallet.

PS - I am using Photoshop CC (2017)

PSS - I originally said using Ctrl+ALT keys when I should have said Control+Option keys for my Mac.

On Windows it is done using Alt+Right Click+Drag UP/Down,Left/Right.

Thanks, but I run a Mac and I have been using PS for 10 years now. I know how to operate the shortcut. I am wondering if there was an issue with the Wacom update that took place recently.
