Changing Brush Opacity in CS5

<p>When using the Brush tool in CS5 I would like to be able to change the Opacity setting using the number keys. I must have changed a setting because this morning the number keys are changing the flow and not the Opacity. I thought this was controlled by one of the icons displayed on the tool bar but I cannot seem to get it to reset.<br>

What is the correct way to toggle numeric key control of the Opacity and Flow settings?<br>

thanks,<br>

<p>Using the shift key combined with the number will allow you to control brush opacity instead of flow.</p>

<p>Control + Alt + Shift + K will bring up the keyboard shortcuts dialog and give you all sorts of options.</p>

<p>Also, if you want the number keys (without shift) to modify the opacity instead of flow, you need to turn off the airbrush mode.</p>

Thank you. That was it.<br>

Odd though. I have been using the numbers to change the Opacity for years. I first noticed this behavior with CS5 but it not always happen. No matter, your suggestion works 100% of the time.<br>

<p>i dotn use any key combo and i change my brush opacity just with number key everyday... CS2-3-4-5.</p>

<p>something must have change in your preference somewhere... If the key combo work, good for you.. but dont take that as a Adobe change.. because by pressing only the number pad my brush opacity change for me ; )</p>
