Bereklauw Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 Is there a way to switch the brush colours back to the original black and white with "one" click? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted April 20, 2018 Staff Share Posted April 20, 2018 Hi @Bereklauw, You can set u Keyboard shortcut to do this. Go to Edit>Prefences>Keyboard Shortcuts>Photo dropdown> Miscellaneous Dropdown>Set fill to black and white. You can also switch between BG and FG by pressing X. Thanks, Gabe.

If you want black and white with one click, you could click on the Swatches panel. Black, white and transparency permanently on display. Quote Windows PCs.

The Alt-X is not set in my version. So I picked this one. "X" "CMD+X" and "Shift-X" have alle been taken. So this is a viable workaround.

Assign the shortcut ALT+X as advised above Then set a spare mouse or pen button to replay the same keystrokes Which will give you a "one click" solution Works just fine on my pen Bereklauw 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
