    I discovered this one by accident... To adjust the brush size on the fly, hold down opt+control on a Mac (alt+right click on a PC) and drag your pointer left to right to adjust the brush pixel size. Drag up and down, to adjust the brush feathering.

    Funny thing is I know about the short cut but I always do it the long way. Meanwhile my kids will only use the shortcut and I'm like in awe.

    Do you have a shortcut for Windows? This is good for Mac, I think...

    Mac To PC translation:
    Command=Control
    Option=Alt
    Control=Right Click

    I hope this helps.

    This is quite useful. I had no idea about this shortcut. Ive used photoshop for quite some time now and never new about this. Its very useful because you can see exactly what the feathering is going to look like without having to guess which is best and then test. THANKS!!
