Hi.

I'm sure this is a simple fix but I can't solve it. I've changed to CO Pro 16.3.1.23 from a much older version. In the old version I could draw a mask and either clean up the mask edges with the eraser or use the magic tool. I could choose my brush and brush size but I can't find these size/brush options in CO Pro. It mush be there but I can't see it. Could someone please tell me where they are hidden.

Thanks

  mouse over the image, make sure the brush is enabled, and right-click to bring up the brush settings.

  jonathan moore - I do it the way Walter Rowe suggests, and I think that may be the easiest, but there is another way if you prefer. 

  In the Layers and Masks tool click the icon I have highlighted to bring up brush settings.

  

  Or - yet another way which is quick and easy - you can use the left and right bracket keys [ and ] to adjust brush size, or hold down shift with [ or ] to change brush hardness. The advantage of that on is that you may already be familiar with it to from other apps that also use [ and ] the same way. You can also create extra keyboard shortcuts if you want to change brush opacity or flow.

  Walter & Ian. Thank you both. I knew it was simple and obvious but I just couldn't see it. Thanks
