PS-shortcuts - tools opacity

[Michael Fontana]

I set up the box new, and installed PS; going through all the customizable stuff, it looked fine.

There's one thing: used to hit the number keys only, for changing the opacity of the tools like stamp, etc; but now:
not opacity changes, but the setting beeing directly on the right of opacity - in the PS menubar.. (forgotten the english name of it)

Looking at the shortcut-menu; nothing in regard to this.

That's silly, as I liked und used that shortcut a lot....
Any insights?

Michael, is your numlock on?

Don, it doesn't matters at all...

I had have found the hint to click on the move-tool, while holding down the v-key, then it works for 1 - 2 times; but after its gone again....

Hi Micheal,
Have you tried the left and right arrow keys? I got to experimenting after reading your post and it seems to work for me. Thanks! Talk about an indirect way to learn a new trick. <from my perspective, I mean>

(assuming you are referring to CS3)

Cheers,
Greg

Greg, this is on PS-CS-2, the arrows don't work here, either

It might depend on the localisation, as well....

but I'm sure that the numbers worked here.

Do you knew that one? for changing the bruhes size, its: [ and ]

on the keyboard (mac) here, it's option+ 5; resp. option+6....

Michael, I was not aware of the number trick with CS2, no. CS3 is installed on this laptop (my primary) and CS2 still on my desktop. (haven't bothered to upgrade it yet) I'll try it tomorrow on CS2.....and I agree, it may be a locale issue indeed.

Sorry my discovery (thanks to you) didn't help you.

Flow changes when hitting number keys. Opacity changes when you hit shift+number keys.
