Gackt Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Hello, Sorry for more topics about features. Can we please request a RMB feature for Brushes? It would be good for productivity if RMB opened a quick access to the brush width , opacity, flow and hardness values? Or a Keyboard shortcut like CTRL + ALT + LMB to change the size and hardness of the brushes in real time? Similar to what Photoshop has. Thank you charactersword and thomasp 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steps Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Can you give screenshots how that looks like in Photoshop? In Photoshop Elements you just can change the brush type with RMB which is IMHO of little use. Quote Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

Gackt Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 When you right mouse button this pops up. Of course you should be in brush mode. I'd much rather prefer how Easy Paint does it. It's holding down CTRL + ALT and LMB drag.. but I don't think this is an easy feature to implement for the Affinity team. Easy Paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steps Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Yeah, Easy Paint seems to have a nice solution. Photoshop Elements gives you this on RMB: There is much need to scroll wheel and with a slider you feel to be more in control. Quote Windows 10 Pro x64 (1903).

Thank you On Windows if you press Alt and both mouse buttons at once, dragging up/down changes brush hardness and dragging right/left changes brush size. An on-screen display shows the size of both in pixels while you make the adjustment. Quote Windows 11 Pro, XP-Pen Deco 03, AP, AD & APub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasp Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 The brush properties change via hotkey+gesture is nice for sure but having a brush picker right under your mouse (ideally combined with a color picker) would be preferable IMO. Photoshop (full version) should serve as an inspiration for how to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s physically impossible for me to press both the RMB and the LMB at the same time.

Rocketdrive Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I, too, would love to have a user configurable, simple hotkey or other method for changing brush opacity and size on the fly. There are many best practices out there, Serif just needs to pick one: Sketchbook has an always visible widget, dragging within horizontally changes brush size, vertically: opacity Procreate has always visible sliders for both Photoshop has a hotkey combo Blender (which has many brush uses) has a hotkey ZBrush also has single hotkeys charactersword and casterle 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
