brush: form versus size control confusion

[stefan 1967]

Hi there,

i´m currently working without tablet, and therefore change the brushsize/hardness (for painting the mask layers) with control+option+vary size on trackpad via striking top/bottom and hardness via left/right. I constantly ran into a for me feedbackless moduschange, where instead of size/hardnesschange a triple circle appears called form. Can I stop/change this?

i love changing size/hardness inuitively and fast via trackpad and ctrl/option key, but i dont find back when the form/three circles thing appears instead

all best and tnx,

stefan

I see that when the brush is too large.

hi ol' Bruce, seems different confusion here : ), but it didn't happen again and i don't know how to even trigger that behaviour..

tnx,

stefan

This function has 3 states, you can toggle by clicking, while moving the mouse up/down vs left/right adjusts one of two sub-options: hardness / size –> shape / spacing –> rotation. Each of them shows an according cursor.
