Topic: stroking a path

I have been away from PS for a while and can't remember how to get the stroke to start at one brush size and end at another. I tried "simulate pressure" but that starts thin, goes to thick, then end thin again. HELP!

AFAIK you can't make the brush thicken then get thin again in PhotoShop without a tilt or presure sensitive tablet. You can only make the brush "Fade" in X steps and to a given percentage of its original size. Also you might want to set the Size jitter to 0.

All this in the Brushes palette > Shape Dynamic.

HTH.

I think the "Fade" method is the way I used to do it. It is amazing how much you can forget when you walk away for a while. Thank you.
