Did you know that you can change your Photoshop brush size by pressing the left and right bracket keys? The left bracket [ makes the brush size smaller and the right bracket ] makes the brush larger. What’s really cool about this shortcut is the incremental changes directly correspond to the size of the brush. So if you’re working with a very small brush, it only changes the size by a few pixels but when working with brushes over 300, the change increments by 100.
These shortcut keys work with both Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. If you aren’t used to changing your brush size by using these shortcut keys, give them a try. You’ll wonder why you haven’t been doing this all along.
