Design for Hackers: Reverse-Engineering Beauty (Wiley & Sons, September 2011) will help you see like a designer does.

What’s the fastest and easiest way to manipulate the characteristics of your brush in Photoshop?

  • Press ] to enlarge or [ to shrink your brush
  • Press Shift+] to make your brush harder (less feathering) or Shift+[ to make it softer (more feathering)
  • Press Shift+ a digit to establish opacity (0=100, 2=20, etc.), and press Command (Control on Windows)+ a digit to establish the fill.

This will save you tons of time when using the brush tool.

Was it good for you?
