Adjustment Brush resize tricks

 

When using the Adjustment Brush for retouching, you need to change the size of the brush quite often. You can use the Left and Right Bracket keys ([ ]) to make small incremental changes to the brush size, but the mouse scroll wheel is the quickest way to resize the brush. If you’re using a Wacom tablet (highly recom-mended), you can still use the mouse scroll wheel. Place the mouse where you can reach it with your free nonmouse hand and use both together.

    Using the scroll wheel to adjust brush size? I’m not aware of how to do this on a PC (without hacking scroll-wheel messages via a 3rd party program).

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
