Change brush size and hardness with CTRL-OPT-DRAG

It may seem like an odd question, but I just can't use the shortcut to change size and the hardness of the brush in CS5 : Ctrl-Opt-drag
I work on a MacBook Pro with a magic mouse. As soon as I click on CTRL, at the tip of the pointer, a small box appears (the icon of a menu) and then if I click, the small brush menu opens.
I work on a french keyboard and I don't know how to get to change this shortcut since I'm not looking to reassign a key but an 'action'.
I've reset all the shortcuts to original settings in the keyboard Preferences.
Oh, and yes, I did select the OpenGL option.
It sounds really easy but it's driving me crazy !!!
If anyone has an answer, that would really help !
Thanks,

Ruedis, thanks for your input, but on a Mac, a Ctrl+Click is the same as a windows Right click (and one can Right Click with a mouse on a Mac), the Option key is the equivalent to the Windows Alt key (on my UK keyboard, it is also ALT that is written on the key. The Windows CTRL key is called Command on a Mac.
So, on a Mac forum, saying CTRL-OPT-DRAG equals to saying ALT+Right Click on a PC one.
In short:
Win
Mac
Right Click
Ctrl+Click
Alt
Option
Ctrl
Command
Shift
Shift
Don't let this discourage you, please continue to share your experience, but be aware that sometimes, the problems are not cross-platform.

  • How can I set the CS5 to Intuos Pro Large for changing brush size and opacity and others?

    How can I set together  to  my PS5 or Ps6 in order to change brush size and opacity at the Intuos Pro Large?

    The MTU setting on the interface is the layer 3 packet size. In this case, the MTU is set to 1500, but the largest frame size transmitted on the interface (including layer 2 headers) is 1516. It sounds like you are experiencing another problem at the LES.

  • Changing brush size while erasing with adjustment brush.

    I have search around and have been unable to locate the short cut keys to increase and decrease the brush size while erasing. I use the bracket keys to change the brush size for the brush itself, but when I press the alt key to switch to the eraser, I can't figure out any short cut keys for changing the size of the eraser. It works to go over to the panel, but that is a pain. There must be a short cut for this. Thanks, Eric

    That's what I was afraid of. Hopefully in the next version. Thanks, Eric

  • Photoshop Liquify Brush Size increase/decrease with alt+crtl drag don't work anymore...

    Hi :-)
    I have installed the last Update to Photoshop CS6 13.0.4...
    Now I can't increase/decrease the Brush Size in the Liquify-Dialog anymore (before I installed the update, it works fine with alt+crtl and drag)...
    If I press alt+crtl, the "Cancel"-Button is shown as "Revert", but the Brush resizing don't work... :-/
    I use a Mac on OS X 10.6.8...
    But it seems it has to do with the system... beacause at home I use 10.8.3 and there works everything fine with the 13.0.4 Update!!!

  • Mouse Wheel Scroll - Change Brush Size

    Hi
    I use the "Liquify" filter a lot, and I've always wanted to be have the mouse wheel adjust brush size.
    (I'm not that keen on using the left-right bracket to adjust brush size.)
    Thanks.

    I'm not sure, but with the OpenGL features enabled you can use a couple of combinatorial gestures to change brush size, and it gives you very fine control:
    Hold down the Alt key and click the right mouse button down on your image.  While holding it down, if you drag the mouse left, your brush will get smaller, and if you drag right it will get larger.  Drag it up to make it softer, down to make it harder.

  • Change brush  sizes using [  ] too slow

    I've recently swapped from Windows to Mac and I'm glad to be on Mac now. But whenever I'm changing brush sizes using the bracket keys the response time is way to slow.. I search the forum but found nothing on this. anyone have a fix for this..
    Running Leopard with OS 10.5.4 three internal harddrives and 10 gigs ram.
    All updates and patches were installed prior to photoshop.
    Machine is one week old.

    I completely remove Photoshop and did a clean install. Before changing anything I opened an image and tried increasing and decreasing my brush size using the bracket keys and everything was fine. The brush changes as soon as you hit the bracket key.
    But as soon as you highlight the info palette top right corner and make it active then come back over the picture and try changing the brush size I'm getting a one second delay. If I hit the bracket key three times quickly the brush completely disapears and then reapears at the appropriate size.
    This is a clean install with no plugins, no new fonts, no new nothing.
    I then downloaded the latest upgrades.. Reset disk permission, ran the chron scripts and I'm getting the exact same reaction from photoshop when attempting to change brush size with the bracket keys.
    Can anybody else reproduce this buy highlighting the info palette??
    I called a buddy who also recently purchased a new Mac Pro and his machine is doing the exact same thing.

  • Changing brush size in camera raw?

    I'm having trouble with changing brush size in the camera raw brush tools.
    What I use for input is a scandinavian keyboard and I have to type in alt gr+8 and alt gr+9 instead of brackets.
    This works great in Photoshop,  but sadly not in Camera Raw.
    Is anyone able to help me?

    That works well, thanks for this.
    Any idea why the brush sizing feature is not similar to Lightroom where you can simply scroll vertically on the Magic Mouse?
    Cheers,

  • How to change print size and DPI setting in Aperture

    If I import a raw image from my camera (D2X) to Aperture and print the image at about 8"x10" through Aperture, it prints at about 300 DPI, if I change to size of the same image to 12"x18", in Aperture, it prints the image at about 166 DPI. I do not believe there is a way to change this in Aperture.
    My question is, can I open the image at 8"x10" in PS, change the size and resolution to 12"x18" and 300 DPI then save it, open it again in Aperture and print it. If I do these things, will the image printed in Aperture still be 300 DPI and how can I check it to see if that is the case?
    I have not been able to find the DPI setting anywhere in Aperture to confirm that it is what I want or need.

    "You can make the pixels bigger by making the image larger but you can't add any more pixels without running some kind of interpolation filtration like GenuineFractals or a recomputation like bicubic."
    Thank you for your explanation and that brings me exactly to the point of my question.
    Can I interpolate my original NEF raw image after conversion by Aperture to a much larger image for print using something similar to what Photoshop does with it's bicubic smoother or as is done in genuine fractals or must I go out of Aperture and back if I want to print with Aperture. I am hoping you will tell me that Aperture is or will be capable of interpolating an image to a larger one with more than just the pixels supplied by the camera. I do not belive that these are not enough by themselves to print a quality image in a much larger size.
    I may be wrong, but I believe that it is somewhat common practice to interpolate an image to get a greater resolution printed image at a size larger that what is possible with a resolution provided by the (D2x in my case) DSLR camera.
    Or is this just a tempest in a teapot. In other words, will I be able to take the image out of the D2x (12.5 megapixels) and print a 13x 19" image with the same quality in Aperture (uninterpolated but enlarged) as an interpolated image in PS or Genuine Fractals and then in PS?
    Thank you

  • Ability to change font size and font color thru console

    I have a console that a client can pretty much do all the
    changes they
    want.. now they want to be able to change the font sizes for
    certain titles
    and also the color..
    Since 95% of the site is controlled with CSS is there
    something i can add
    to the console page to allow them to change the size and
    color of the titles
    and text?
    ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript

    Here's what I have done in the past. Maybe not elegant, but
    it works. (I
    use PHP, but I'm sure you can modify for ASP.)
    In the HEAD of each web page, include regular old embedded
    STYLE tags,
    but INCLUDE an external PHP file:
    <head>
    <style type="text/css">
    <?php include('styles/testcss.php'); ?>
    </style>
    </head>
    Now in that included PHP file, just have CSS code which pulls
    in your
    dynamic data. Here's an example snippet:
    body {
    color: #600;
    background-color: <?php echo
    $row_recordset['bgcolor'];?>
    Of course, you'll need the code for the recordset somewhere
    too.

  • Change the size and style of the menu

    How can I change the size and font on the automatically created menu in iWeb?
    I cannot select it like other text on the site..

    The words under pictures on the photo pages are also part of the template. What you see is the default.
    But you can change this. You can change the font, font size and font color. Just hightlight it by dragging the cursor over it and select font to change the font and size. And you can use the color wheel to change the color
    Good luck!
    Edit: if you choose a large font you may have to adjust the space between the pictures. This can be done in the inspector. Just play with it to see what works.

  • In SAP 4.6c In classical reports output how to change Font size and Font type

    Dear Experts,
    In SAP 4.6c, in classical and interactive reports  output how to change font size and font type.
    Regards,
    Zaker.

    These are HTML formatting questions. Nothing to do with the Oracle SQL and PL/SQL languages.
    With old-style HTML, the font size and family are set using the font tag.
    With modern style HTML, that is done using cascading style sheets (CSS).
    Your favourite search engine will turn up tons of information on both.

  • How do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion.  Everything is greyed and too small.   And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which are now invisible?

    how do i change font sizes and colors in ical in OS Lion. Since upgrading,  all fonts are grey, instead of black,  and too small.   And how do I changed the color of the scroll bars, which also are grey and almost invisible?  And if you can asnwer this, can you tell me how to get back the email format I had before the upgrade?  I no longer have column headings and I'd like them.  Thank you. 

    Do you know about changing the font colors for ical, and the color of the scroll bars?
    No, I don't. I don't use that program; I fiddled with it just now, and could not find a way to do that.
    Perhaps someone else will have an idea.
