how to adjust brush size in a faster way?

[cerealist]

well from what i searched from google, it s the [ and ] for resizing brush size in PS..

Any faster way to do it?

like in painter u just need to hold ALT and CTRL and drag

thanks~~

Actually, in CS5 (and CS4 I presume) you can also hold down Alt + Ctrl to adjust the brush size. However, you have to right click and drag. Dragging left/right changes the size while dragging up/down changes the softness.

I've only demo it for a little while but I had to hover the pen, making the whole process impractical.

Ooops, yes, Portus, I forgot to make clear that holding down the right click switch on the pen activates the adjustment without touching the tablet. It's a little more flimsy than Painter's method but I find it ok.

I set my left touch strip on my Wacom tablet to size my brush. I just drag my left finger up or down to resize.

Yup, that's what I do too and it works pretty well. (I always zoom with spacebar + alt anyway, so it's nice to do something useful with that touch strip.)
