Changing the size and hardness on-the-fly
- [Instructor] All right now, I'll show you a few keyboard shortcuts for changing the size and the hardness of a brush on the file. And so I'm going to start off by turning off this brushwork layer and creating another layer on top of it. And so I'll press Control + Shift and or Command + Shift and on the Mac. And I'll call this guy size and hardness, let's say and then just to make things perfectly clear I'm going to change the color of my brush which I can do inside the color panel. When I'm looking at the HSB values I have this color ramp down here. And so I can just click on a color or drag around or what have you, in order to select a different color like so if you were to click on the background color instead then you would change the background color. If you press the Alt key while you drag or the Option key on a Mac, you're going to change. Whichever color is inactive in this case the background color, all right…
