Photoshop CS2 hotkeys

[Pangarang]

One thing I've never quite been able to grasp with this program is the hotkeys for brush opacity settings.

What I expect: Hitting 1, 2, 3, etc makes the opacity 10%, 20%, 30%, etc, respectively.


What happens sometimes: the FLOW is affected and not the opacity. How can I fix this? It's driving me crazy!

Also, the quickmask function. I'd like to invert the selection so that whatever i paint in quickmask mode is what i want to select. Currently, whatever I paint in quickmask is NOT selected and i have to invert once I exit the mode. How can I fool with the settings so that the painted area is selected?

Thx in advance.

umm i think the flow is only affected when the airbrush is on, not sure tho this happens to me all the time, its a real pain

if the brush has the airbrush setting ticked in the brush option it will automatically change when u press the number keys.. if you use that brush a lot you can just untick the airbrush option and save it again.. Also you can toggle flow on and off by pressing alt+ctrl+shift+p..
