in photoshop 7, how do you mess with the Hardness of the brush? I remember in PS6 when you double clicked the brush a pallette would pop up where you could change the size, hardness, angle, roundness .... i cant seem to find the Hardness for brushes in the PS7 pallete ...
I'm trying to draw some dashed lines in Photoshop, and to this end I've been playing around with the brush settings (Spacing etc). I'm using a square brush, and I managed to draw the dashed line as I want it, with one exception: I can't get the brush to be feathered.
Is it a general thing in Photoshop that you can't change (i.e. soften) the hardness of a square brush, as you can with that of a round brush? I doubt that Photoshop would impose such a limitation - there must be something I'm getting wrong.
I'd really appreciate some help on this. Once again, I'd like to have a soft (i.e. feathered) *square* brush, which I can use for various purposes, including the drawing of dashed lines.

I recently upgraded from CS4 to CS6 and I noticed a weird change in how brushes with 0% hardness are displayed. I'm not sure if it's supposed to look like this or if it's a problem with my settings etc. Â So here is how it looks on 500% Â - 0% hardness brush, Opacity 100%, black on transparent background
In Photoshop 6, adjusting brush parameters including hardness was easy, but in Photoshop 7, I can't seem to find where these settings are. I have been through the brush palette several times and have found everything BUT basic brush parameters such as hardness and angle. I cannot imaging where they might have moved this or even if they are still accessable.
I'm still somewhat a noob, but I'm following a tut and it says to make sure the eraser hardness is 0. Problem is.....I can't find where the 'hardness' setting is.
In CS4, holding the ALT key down and right-click-dragging left or right decreases/increases brush size continuously on a PC. Is there a comparable way to tweak brush HARDNESS on a PC as you can on a Mac? I have tried additionally holding down the SHIFT key ala the square brackets alternative method for step-changing hardness, and have also tried all combinations of moderator keys to no avail.
My platform is WIN 8-64 on a Dell XPS8500 with AMD Radeon HD 7570 graphics card and like many others I have the "flicker" problem but the work-around Advance setting of BASIC works for me. However, I now notice that I cannot set the brush hardness level. I installed the CS6-32 version concurrently and the brush works fine in that version. In CS6-64 the brush set on black will not replace white and when set on black it makes only a gray streak no matter what the hardness setting is.
use i mac i7, lion 10.7.4.  It seems that, in CS6 Photoshop, I could RIGHT CLICK, and a small panel would drop down at cursor location, allowing me to change size, hardness, and roundness of the brush.  I have recently updated to 13.0.1. The technique described above no longer works, but I can't be sure that this happened after the update. I may, as often, have screwed up a preference checkbox.
After upgrading from CS6 beta to CS6 release this function stopped working (on OS X Lion). The only think that happens when I use both keys (Ctrl+Alt) and move the mouse is moving the whole application/cs6 windows.
I'm trying to figure out how you can adjust the exact hardness of a brush. I see that you can select a brush with a hard edge, or a fuzzy edge, but what if I'd like some middle ground?
While I'm at it, I may as well ask another question as well. I'm used to Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8, and on there you could adjust the "step" of a brush. Is there a way to do that on GIMP?
Also, is there a shape tool where you can create spheres or squares?
I am interested in grouping and sorting brushes according to size, shape, whatever.
Right now when I add a brush library, they just stack on top of one another.
For example let's say I have a round brush with a 10 diameter, then next to it a round brush with a 20 diameter. If I make a 15, it goes to the bottom of the list, and I have to scroll all around. How can I group them?
I suspect I would have to make my own brush library with my brushes how I want them, then save that and load it?
The feature where you can quickly change a brush size/ diameter by pressing Alt + hold right click (for Windows) (In Mac, control + alt + left click) is neat but is there any way to change that shortcut to a different combination? I can't find it in the shortcuts list.
I've some problem with CS4, Often i use in my keyboard shortcut keys "first brush" and "last brush", because only two brushes most useful for me. But i use also other brushes, which i m making. And new brush becomes behind my "last brushes". How i can moving brushes on brushes palette? Or can i to appoint keys for each brushes.
When I try to select brushes in my brushes panel, this panel now contains so many brush names, that it no longer fits on my screen. How can I empty that list of brushes?
i just recently downloaded some brushes and i was wondering how do i add them to the dropdown brush list? (the list where it says Assorted brushes, basic brushes, etc)
I have over 200 brushes for Photoshop CS3 and I use a 42" computer monitor. When I go to my brushes I'm only able to see the brushes up to the letter S and the rest are off screen. Is there a way to get them to display without the obvious way of deleting some of them?
I can see brushes in Preset Viewer that Photoshop cant see. Preset Viewer is set to limit itself to .abr files, which of course is all that Photoshop sees when youre loading brushes, so . . . why can I see some .abr files in Preset Viewer that I cant load in Photoshop CS4 for Windows?
I have been using version 5 for years now and I’ve been looking into getting CS but the biggest thing that I’ve noticed is the brush control. I’ve been used to just selecting the opacity (like 10%) and using my stylist and going over the area and getting darker much like a traditional airbrush. I have played around with the flow and opacity but can’t get the look and the feel of v5. I don’t have all the time in the world to play around with it because it’s my friends computer, I just want to know if it can be done or if they have fazed that out with the newer versions.
I've seen so many people talking about brushes... can someone actually tell me what they do and show me what can be done with them? I have a fair knowledge about photoshop and I just want to advance my skills by finding out what other sort of stuff you can do with photoshop..
I lost my precise preferences for the brushes and all I have is a 1-3 pixel brush. After that it defaults to the icon. Our IT guys seem to have misplaced the original cd.
I've gone through the reloading of brushes, preferences and I've tried Adobe Studio exchange, but no luck. I desperately need be able to get the precise brush size preferences back.
does any have any gun bruhes? i saw this one post that had some that said there were sum at devient art but when i went to devient art and tried to download it it just came up with a screen with a lota letters and numbers.....
How can I do this? I have a bunch of very nice brushes, with perfect settings that I would like to copy to my thumbdrive so I can use them anywhere I go. Where is the file that has my brushes? I thought it was in the Photoshop/presets/Brushes folder, but none of the .abr files there appear to have my brushes in them.
1. A "wet brush" (PS7). it gave a look like painting with slime.
2. A brush that gets Thinner in the end of a stroke. Like the stroke of a pen / feather. Or does anyone know how to get this effect, maybe with another technique.
Did they cancel those strokes or am I to blind to find them?
Im working with Photoshop CS2 and although I have all the brushes that Ive downloaded put into the right folder (program files/adobe/adobe photoshop CS3/presets/brushes) it refuses to see them within the program.
When I installed them photoshop was closed, I even rebooted the computer just in case. I tried moving them into the "adobe photoshop only" folder within the "brushes" folder and it doesn't work.
I know these are more recent brushes so they cant be too out of date for this version.
