TheSchlonz Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I am wondering if there is a way to change the Brush size by pressing a defined key and than moving the Mouse, or in my case the Pen from the Tablet. This would be a very fast way for changing the brush size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 If you are on Windows Hold the Alt key down Press your pen tip on the tablet Press whatever button on your pen is assigned to Right Click Then drag left/right to change brush size or up/down to change the Hardness Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chip J. Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 I can not seem to get this... I'm using a Windows system with a mouse. Everytime I try to increase my brush and/or hardness with using Alt or Cntrl/Alt all I get is the pixel color selection. I've tried selecting with left mouse as well as right mouse and center wheel. Nothing seems to work What am I missing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On Windows with a mouse you need to do the following (with the brush tool selected): 1) Press and hold ALT 2) Click and hold RIGHT MOUSE BUTTON 3) Click and hold LEFT MOUSE BUTTON 4) Drag the mouse left/right for size, up/down for hardness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chip J. Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Sima - Thank you... Holding both buttons (although awkward) works. Wish I could do same with just the left mouse button :-). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R C-R Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 As already mentioned, on the Mac version this is done by holding down two modifier keys (Control & Alt/Option). The staff have said the Windows version can't use the same, less awkward, method because the Windows OS provides one less modifier key than the Mac OS does. But they have also said the developers are considering how some less awkward way to do this on Windows might be implemented, so perhaps that will appear in a future update.

seamonsterwes Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 (edited) I cant get this to work for me on a mac. When using just a trackpad- is there a way to handle the ALT+CTRL+LMB+RMB? Additionally, with a magic mouse (no discrete LMB or RMB here either), this also doesn't work. With a USB mouse with two discrete buttons- also doesn't work, with a wacom tablet - still no go. AFAIK, preferences are set to defaults in the software- so I must be doing something wrong. Any advice for this? EDIT: As quickly as I had posted this, the issue became apparent- my window management tool- Hyperdock was taking over these hotkeys conflicting with AP. Resolved by turning it off. Duuuuuuh.

I keep getting the Color Picker but nothing else. Drives me nuts... Is there a specific option/thing to activate/deactivate on the Windows/Wacom side? Thank you EDIT with solution: Found how to make it work. It so dumb it's frustrating. I don't know if it's an issue on the Wacom or Affinity side. But this is truly stupid. So. If I define a Right Click on the Pen button through the Wacom preferences with Click/Right Click...it doesn't work. But if I define the same button with Keyboard/Modificator/Right Click it WORKS! I put a picture. It's in french but the idea is there. Once done the shortcut works. Hope that helps Julien Edited December 27, 2018 by juliencollee Found a solution mtlevison 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
