Touch strips or touch sliders
By: dream3 Date: February 23, 2016, 1:35 pm

Hello!
I would LOVE a way to make touch slider in order to quickly
change brush size in Photoshop! Something like that used to work
pretty well in a AHK-based app called artdock by konartist. It
only worked up until Surface Pro 2 though and now that I have
the Surface Pro 4 I really miss something like that.

Hi Dream3,
We do have an option that we very recently created that allows
that. It's not perfect but does work well.
set a button to "frame with R drag"+ alt.
Do to some weird palm rejection issue with windows 10 you have
to lift the pen tip up while you use the button, but its still
quite fast. If you set palm reject (pen settings) to right hand
it works like a charm but you lose other functionality and I
don't recommend the switch.
We hope to eventually surpass the Windows 10 palm rejection
problems. Just a bit difficult at the moment.

Hey Justice.
Thanks a lot for that. It does work but I have to lift the pen
up until the brush cursor disappears, instead of just lifting it
off the screen.
I hope you guys find the mystical way to deal with palm
rejection. In the mean time I'll try to get used to the new
workflow :)

We are working on a solution soon hopefully we will have a way
around it. its still a mystery. But we have a few leads to work
on. =)

Shoot I made a layout earlier today with the slider and it works
perfect! I do not have to lift my pen way off the screen to
where the cursor disappears just lift it a tiny bit to stop
painting. I'm on a Surface 3.

Guys, just do it how Wacom does it, using two keystrokes mapped
to positive and negative axis.
Why? because it's easier for users to understand, easier to
setup, and allows for more different program control schemes.
As of now, programs like krita have an awkward horizontal drag
for brush size, where a vertical strip would be far more
ergonomic on the hands. This is one of many instance where
proper slider/strip axis mapping would make tablet pro shine
more.
Keep the mouse drag sliders, add 'touch strips' so that most
people will recognise the term (it's prevalent among Wacom
users).
You have two keystrokes, one for the positive axis, one for the
negative. The more your finger is on one side of the strip when
finger movement is within an acceptable threshold, the faster
that command is fired every millisecond. In the dead centre,
there is no output, as it's between neutral values. Pretty
simple stuff right? maybe not this simple, but the logic surely
is! And any airhead can figure it out when they are mapping
keys.
For instance, if you wanted great brush sizing control in
photoshop, you'd have the negative axis set to '[' and the
positive set to ']'.
Then if you're feeling extra brave, allow users to map X and Y
axis as well so we can control size and transparency of a brush
at the same time using four keystrokes.
Really simple stuff, and honestly a bit frustrating that it's
not here considering tablet pro is meant to be the best
available resource for this.
How about it?
