I wish they'd include liquify in the normal photoshop interface instead of in its separate window. That way I could see exactly how my final image will look when I have layers ontop and below the layer I'm applying the liquify to.

"Also we hooked up the shortcuts, so you can resize the brush on canvas"

Thank you, now consider enabling people from the rest of the world to use keyboard shortcuts for changing the brush size, so us with a european keyboard can do these basic things. (no, we don't have dedicated [ ] keys, and you need to deal with that, if you wan't us to pay 999$ for a piece of software!!!!!!

you're awesome, where did u learn this??

[Tim Torres]

You can use some software called AutoHotKey to map whatever character you want on your keyboard to the Photoshop defaults. You can also hold alt and scroll up or down to zoom in/out. You can hold Ctrl+Alt+RightClick and move the cursor left or right to increase/decrease brush size.

[Tim Torres]

I use this too. Right clicking on the canvas also brings up a small brush dialog at the cursor

FYI, you can use Ctrl+Alt+RightClick (hold it) and move your cursor left or right to modify brush size, and up or down to modify brush hardness. I know it sounds complicated, but now that I got used to it I use it all the time.

ppi, not dpi unless the image is on press where dpi interprets image ppi.

Agreed. That's why Adobe provided a control to change it, which I did.
