The BrushKnob is a manual Photoshop tool that allows the user to connect the knob to two different existing Photoshop functions.
Designed by concept artist Wataru Kami in Tokyo, Japan, this tool is a control device that "allows the user to intuitively operate Photoshop tools." This means that not only will the user be able to use a mouse or keypad to manipulate and edit photos, but they can also use a knob and switch on this manual Photoshop. The knob on this device controls brush size while the switch alternates between the brush and eraser tools in Photoshop.
This additional tool for photographers and people who digitally manipulate photographs could speed up the process of editing during creative or corporate projects.
