You might be surprised what you dont know about Photoshop Brushes. In this tutorial, we will cover the 10 most important things you must know about them. These tips cover several features including basic controls, keyboard shortcuts, brush settings, shape dynamics, scattering, turning images into brushes, and so much more. Lets get started!
Change Size and Hardness of brush: Cmd/Ctrl + Alt + click and drag Numbers to change Opacity of brush Shift + Numbers to change Flow of brush ./, to toggle through Brush Presets Cmd + Alt + Ctrl (Ctrl + Alt + Shift on PC) and click and hold for HUD color picker
2. Basic Options
You can quickly and easily change the Opacity of your brush, which will control the visibility of each brushstroke. If you reduce the Flow value you will be able to draw over the same area several times with one brushstroke and the used color will build up. If you want to use this build-up effect without even moving your brush then you can turn on the Airbrush option. You also have two controls in the Options bar to control the Opacity and the Size of your brush with Pressure sensitive drawing tablets.
You can find this set of options in the Brush panel. You can choose a Brush Preset, change its Angle and Roundness and you can also set the Spacing for it, which lets you make your brushstrokes much smoother than the way they look by default.
4. Shape Dynamics
With the Shape Dynamics you can control mainly the Size, Angle and Roundness of your brushes. You can decide for each of these options what to use to control them. If you have a pressure sensitive tablet than you can use Pressure or Tilt. If you work with a mouse you can try Fade. You also have Jitter option for the Size, Angle and Roundness values, which can automatically randomize them.
5. Transfer
Transfer options can also be found under the Brush panel and this is where you can change the behaviour of the visibility of your brushes. Most importantly you can define the Control and Jitter options of the brush Opacity and Flow values.

6. Scattering
Scattering is another set of options under the Brush panel. You can use this feature if you want to randomize the placement of the brush tips and scatter them around the path of your brushstrokes.
