FREE: TK Photoshop Brush Pilot plugin

TK Brush Pilot is a new plugin for Photoshop that helps to navigate the Photoshop Paintbrush tool. It allows brush opacity, hardness, and flow to be set using clickable buttons on a panel that can be docked with other Photoshop panels.

  • Left-click (single-click) sets opacity and adds a yellow outline around the button.
  • Right-click sets flow and changes the button’s background color to red.
  • Double-click sets hardness and colors the button’s number or bullet green.

If you forget what each button does, just pull down on the handle at the bottom to see the different options.

Clicking any button (left-click, right-click, or double-click) automatically selects the Photoshop Paintbrush tool (no need to do that first) and displays the brush’s current settings for opacity, hardness, and flow according to the plugin’s color-coding rules. Additionally, the brush’s diameter is displayed in an orange box in the middle of the panel for five seconds each time a button is clicked.

TK Brush Pilot is a FREE plugin. You can read more about it and download it on this web page.
