Brush Width

[• Filippo •]

Hi, can you see in real time the selected brush size when you move the mouse pointer to the work area? To see the actual width, I must first click on the workspace each time you set a measure. Thanks so much.

Hi Filippo,

 

Welcome to the forum

 

This issue has been raised with our developers and will be addressed in a future build of Photo, in the mean time you can either press Esc key after changing the brush size and this will show the mouse curso with the new brush width.

You could use the brush size shortcuts inside the document window instead.

 

Press either the  [ or ]  keyboard keys and you get a brush size preview as you press the keys.

 

You can also press Alt  then both mouse buttons and drag. You can resize the brush and adjust the hardness at the same time. You get brush size and hardness preview (as pic below).

 

Note: Once you start to drag you can release the Alt and right mouse button. When you have the right size just release the left button.
