Thanks so much. Amazing that for years I have been making extra layers and rotating and it never occurred to me to rotate brushes this way. I am so embarrassed!
What a great time saver. I just wanted to take some time to thank you 4 your great tutorials and whish you a happy Birthday!! Thanks for the quick tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you can make it even easier to work with… you can also rotate the brush by keyboard only.
I was a click brush, then rotate layer person too. Those darn adobe guys are so smart, there is a million little things in PS to do basically anything. Ahhhh, this is sweet. This tip will save me gobs of time and space on my brush palette! Am I crazy? I guess the CS5 upgrade is in my very near future. Heya Hero, I know this tip was posted a couple of years back; yes I did know about it back then but not your awesome site.
Do you use or know of any? Everyone loves the ease of bracket up or down to change brush size right? How bout the same thing for changing the angle of the brush? For it to be really useful, the brush ghost preview needs to rotate too This could allow for quick decal like dropping of shapes, as well as quick adjustments to calligraphy brushes without any visits to the menus and windows. While we're on the subject; keyboard commands to brighten or darken the current color, add or remove red, add or remove blue, add or remove green, increase saturation, decrease saturation all to the current color would be a great option under the hood of PS.
Thanks for listening! Oh, man brush rotate key commands would rock so much! It would be very nice to program them into a slider on a wacom tablet or a peripheral like the Griffin Powermate. If you use PS to paint in, you understand how monumental this would be. When Adobe introduced the rotate page feature, that was like manna from heaven, this would be equally monumental and appreciated.
Their implementation of the color wheel "shortcut" is a total cockup, but that's another story I don't even see brush tip! Where is it? If you're using a pen tablet that supports tilt to draw, there's a workaround you can use. This will change the rotation of the brush based on the angle in which you hold your pen.
Nick, the results of that method are unsatisfactory, as you end up having to hold the pen at goofy angles to draw. It becomes a situation of the software controlling you instead of you controlling the software. Thanks though. I want to rotate my brush with my Wacom Intuos5 ring.
To do that, I need to be able to use keystrokes to change the rotation angle of the brush. Huge bonus points for adding keyboard controls for "Brush Roundness", too, but that's not as important to me. I made the same request, lets hope Adobe listens! Rotate a brush with a keyboard short-cut or a combination of mouse and keyboard shortcut. Wow, someone else who gets it. I'm surprised that no one else has clued on to this technique and just how time saving it is. Watch my other free Digital Painting Tutorials.

Before I designed the workflow revealed in this tutorial, I knew of only two disappointing solutions to this problem: 1. This option is clunky and incredibly disruptive to your workflow. Read on for easier edge control! Start with a brush that is NOT perfectly round.
Photoshop will open a tiny window and ask you for details image below. The "angle" of the brush can be the missing link, which a tiny Photoshop setting solves in a second. It's a cool trick for making some creative frames or background textures among other things. Some brushes are designed as "corner brushes" to frame your graphic.
Rotate the brush to cover all corners easily! For demonstration purposes, I'm using a nice clean square drop shadow brush which displays the rotation more clearly without scattering it across the canvas. You can rotate the brush through degrees. Click and drag the circle till your brush is oriented in the exact direction you want. As a Photoshop beginner, I always wondered how do I paint a blob and rotate that.
Do I rotate the layer?
