stroke. Moving the slider to the right makes the transition appear more abrupt.
Moving it to the left makes the transition smoother. Size step is applicable only to
dab-based brushes.
The Size Step slider controls the transition between the narrow and wide
sections of a stroke. Settings shown are 1% (top) and 100% (bottom).
For brushes that use rendered dab types, the Feature slider determines the size of the
dabs of paint applied.
To set brush size in the Stroke Designer
1 On the Stroke Designer page of the Brush Creator, click Size.
2 Move the Size slider to the right to make the brush larger, or to the left to make it
smaller.
You don’t need to open the Size area of the Stroke Designer page to adjust the
size of a brush. You can type a value in the Size box on the property bar, or
you can adjust the slider on the property bar. For more information on the
property bar, see “Property Bar Basics” in the Help.
You can also press the square brackets, ( [ or ] ), to decrease and increase the
brush size according to the value specified in General Preferences. For more
information, see “General Preferences” on page 32.
To use the brush sizing shortcut
1 Hold down Command + Option + Shift (Mac OS) or Ctrl + Alt + Shift
(Windows), and drag in the image window.
A circle that represents the brush diameter appears beneath the cursor.
2 When you’ve dragged the circle to the size you want, release the mouse button.
