Changing brush size deletes the layer

In CS5 on Mac OS X 10.8.2, using the [ key to change the brush size deletes the current layer after two-three presses. Why is that and how do I stop it from happening?
The also happens with the scroll ring on a wacom intuos 5 tablet.
Pressing and holding the [ shrinks the brush, but can't do that with a wacom.
Thanks

Try resetting the preferences other than that post some screen shots of before/after maybe we can see something.

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 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.

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.
Q. Barrie

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.

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

ACR 7.3 Bug on Adjustment Brush tool - changing brush size problem.

I update photoshop and using ACR 7.3 and now having big problem when I use Adjustment Brush took. Phe problem is when try to change brush size with holding right mouse button and moving the mouse. Behavior completely changed and its impossible to predict if I move mouse right what will happen.
Please check solution for it. old behaviour was great. I think this is not new feature, its bug.
Thanks in advance.

TS3899 cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6.

cannot receive or send email from my hotmail account, refuses to verify server. I have changed my password, deleted the account numerous times, any solutions? all on ios 6. it was working up until a few days ago and now refuses to load on both my ipad 2 and iphone 4S
in the process deleted all my contact, very annoying.
all help is much appreciated.
interesting that my gmail account does work perfectly.

this may or may not help - but give it a try. On a forum some were reporting that talk21 is now under the yahoo umbrella. below are the steps this use listed. (This was an android forum, but the email settings should be the same. In short it looks like their server names have changed. An existing account may have simply been forwarded - but if you are reinstalling, it may want a clean install to the right servers.) Pay particular attention to the server names and port settings. (this thread was started based on a discussion of Imap vs pop - you are already an Imap person - so ignore that part)
See if this helps.
why settle for pop3, when IMAP works with talk21 and not only does mail get pushed out faster with IMAP, but when you click refresh it will be received faster than pop3. The other advantage is subfolders are also supported with IMAP but cant be seen with POP3. This mail feature works with my android eclair & hero phone and the settings are exactly the same for win mobiles also (not tested). The mail setting up roadmap is the same from what i can remember once in the mail feature for win mobi.
This is what you need to do to setup Talk21 email with IMAP.
Incoming server settings
IMAP server - imap.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 143
Security type - none
Outgoing Server settings
SMTP server - smtp.mail.yahoo.com
Port - 25
Security type - none Also important note - Enable 'require sign-in'
and enter your talk21 username and password The End...works a treat for me p.s. Its only taken me 3 years to work it out with win mobile and recently with android. Finally got it to work...hope this helps all the talk21 users out there. if there are any other similar posts out there with no answer...dont forget to mention my name when passing this post around.

Changing font size of the button

Hi,
how can it be changed font size of the button (other than standard and small)?
Thanks.

Hello,
You can create a separate Theme to change or modify the properties of UI elements and can use it in your application. You should have System Admin role assigned in the portal.
Goto System Admin-> POrtal Display -> Theme Editor select any of the standard theme and change it to as per your requirement and save your theme with different name.
In webdynpro you can not change the font size of button. Hope this helps

How do you change image size in the title window?

I just changed operating systems to Windows 7, which meant that I had to re install Premiere Pro CS4. I am now working on a 64 bit system. Might not make any difference, but thought I would give you the specifics just in case. When I pull up the title window to add a title to my clip, the image is about the size of a postage stamp. How do I increase the size of the image in that window?

Thank you again for responding Hunt. I did find out what what was happening.
I had to reinstall the program on my computer. I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I now have a 64 bit system. When I booted up PPCS4, I assumed that my settings would be the same as they were before when I had Vista installed and didn't bother to check them when I started a new project. Well, they were not. I also added a TV tuner card to my computer. I now can watch HD TV on my computer. I suppose that it is possible that somehow PPCS4 noticed that, and set my default settings to HD, rather than NTSC DV. I just merrily went along clicking the OK button and started editing. When I start a new project now, I select NTSC DV and the Title window works just fine, and exactly the way I expect it to.
I just received Jeff Bellune's book Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 in the mail and will be totally immersed in Encore studies today. With all of his children, I don't see how he had time to write it, but I'm glad that he did. I also ordered a book entitled Designing Menus with Encore DVD. I know that it was written for an earlier version than CS4, but I will trust what you said about that. Many things are the same with some minor variations due to upgrades in the program. The basic ideas don't change, but how you accomplish them can, and usually do over time.

Subject: how do you change image size in the title window?
Welcome to the forum.
That is an odd one. The Title should be the same Frame Size as your Project/Sequence. What is it's Frame Size? Also, are you perhaps doing a Title based on an older Template, that was done for a different Frame Size?
What happens if you choose Title>New Title>Default Still?
Good luck,

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

How do I change font size on the safari tool bar

You can't in Safari.
However you CAN with Firefox and the add-on called Theme Font & Size Changer, also include NoSquint and set a global web page zoom level a bit higher, say 150%.
NoSquint has buttons on the tool bar to increase/decrease each websites size AND IT REMEMBERS IT!
Under the Tools Menu > Customize you can add more toolbars as well, but they have to have something in it of course.
(note: the green with yellow type is a person you can add from thousands of choices, it's not the default look of Firefox)
So this setup, although it may appear large here compared to Safari, is fine on my 17" when sitting back about 3-4 feet, takes up about 1/6th of the screen, so I'm not hunched up close, and I have a lot of screen real estate to play with anyway.

CHANGE BRUSH SIZE WITH CTRL and alt KEYS

Hello everyone,
i'm on the road with my new macbook and i have a problem with setting up my wacom pen.
At home i use a iMac with CS5 and to change the brush size i press the alt and the ctrl key and move the pen to left/tight up/down to chang size and hardnes of the brush. I find this very handy!
On my new Macbook i have CC and i don't have the option to use this easy key combination, i was loking around and did some google, but i could not find the place to get the same settings on my macbook.
Is there anyone who can help me?
Thank you very much.

When you press and hold Option/Alt + Control and Left mouse click and drag nothing happens?
(the button on your pen is set to left click?)
The Option/Alt key should always be the second key to the left of the spacebar
The Control key should always be the third key to the left of the spacebar

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.

Changing Brush size in ACR 7.2 - bug oder feature?

The update to ACR 7.2 changed the way the adjustment of the brush size is behaving. Before one pressed the right mouse button and moved left or right to change the size. Now it's not just left to right but right to left or up and down depending on where the tiny mouse indicatior on the outmost circle is placed. The has as an effect that it's not immediately clear in which direction the mouse has to be moved to change the size. Also the brush circle is move to the side while adjusting and is not congruent with the brushcircle after releasing the mouse botton.
Any ideas if this is a feature or a bug?

The ACR7.3 update did not fix the brush resize problem on my system either - also Win7x64 Ultimate, Ps 13.0.1 (currently I use only the x64 install but the problem exists with ACR hosted in the 32-bit install as well) and ACR 7.3.0.71.
Another annoying thing I've noticed with 7.3 (maybe it was there before 7.3 but I never noticed it) is that even if you set the Feather slider to zero pixels, as soon as you set the brush size to 10 pixels or more, the brush is shown as being feathered. Maybe the 10 pixel cutoff is related to my screen size and resolution: 1920x1200 and 88ppi (NEC MultiSync LCD 2690 WUXi2) but it is still disconcerting at any size.
The unexpected movement of the centre of the brush when you right click reported by the OP, another annoying characteristic, is always towards the centre point of your screen. If you are left of centre, it moves right and vice versa. If you are above centre it moves down and vice versa. Combinations move diagonally towards the centre.
Eric Chan seemed to acknowledge the mouse right-click brush resize and brush centre movement problems with ACR 7.2 in his post #1. Looks like he's forgotten us or has been too busy with other matters. Either way , it would be nice to hear from him again with an update.

How can I change brush size?

I really have two questions.
1. How can I change the size of the brush tool? It's all greyed out on every project I start, stuck at the very smallest size (0.10). I'm trying to trace over a photo at the moment, and it's taking FOREVER with the tiny little brush. It only un-greys itself after I draw a line, but I can only change the size of the line I've just drawn. As soon as I go to draw a new line, it goes straight back to size 0.10. It's incredibly frustrating!
I'd use the pencil tool, because I can change that, but...
2. How do you make the eyedropper tool put your chosen colour into the pencil colour box as opposed to the brush box? Every time I use it, it forces me to use the brush. Which, because of the above problem, is ridiculously inconvenient to draw with in just about every situation.

Does nobody know the answer to this? It sounds like it would have a simple answer...
