Is there a plugin to see and one click select brush sizes instead of the two step action -> drop down, numerical value ?

[JoeSmith543]

Hi,

 

I find I often need to change the size of the brush, but I find that two step action of clicking on a drop down menu, and then scroll then clicking a relative numerical value (which I don't know intuitively how big a 75 is)

 

I find that a bit annoying, a bit of a speed bump, friction if you will

 

Here is what part of the program I am talking about

 

And I am curious if there is an option, or a plugin, that will make these appear as, circles of the actual size of the brush

And maybe put my favorite sizes on the toolbar directly, instead of in a drop down menu, so that I could one-click them ?

 

Also, perhaps there is some keyboard-scroll function that would let me adjust the brush size on the fly ? Like I don't know CTRL+SHIFT+horizontal mouse scroll wheel?

Also, are there shapes other than circles ?

 

Thanks !

Two options:

 

1. Move the mouse pointer over the Brush size control and rotate the mouse wheel.

 

2. Use the shortcut keys [ and ]   /  Ctrl+[  and Ctrl+]

Click in the Brush Size number box and type a new value. You don't have to commit or enter the value, it will be used immediately.

 

If you have the current value highlighted (blue background), you can move the pointer over the canvas and watch the size change as you type. So long as you don't click on anything, the Backspace key erases the value, so you can type another. And another...
