Brush technique in CS3

[xxxmen]

Can someone tell me if there is something new in photoshop where you can control and know exactly the strength of a feathered brush? It's a way in which you can see the exact feather amount of a brush so there is no guessing. It's more pin point and precise? Is there something like this in CS3?

Hi xxxmen,

I'm sure you have tried this already ... but it is the only thing I can think of:

• Open your Brushes Presets either by Attachment 1 or Attachment 2 ..

• There click on Brush Tip Shape and adjust the 'hardness' to your heart content watching the percentage grow or sink as you move the slider (0% = maximum soft feather; 100% = very hard edge) Attachment 3

Hope this helps...

Just in case ... I'm moving your Thread to the Photoshop Help Forum ...

where you can get further/better help!!

When you have the brush tool selected, you can right-click and you will see "hardness" percentage.
You could also, if you want, test paint to see the brush in action and then Undo - Control-z.
