This conversation has been merged. Please reference the main conversation: Photoshop: Rotate Brush Tip 'On the fly' (Keyboard shortcut, Mouse-wheel or Click + Drag)
Since you can control the brush size by holding alt/control drag with the pen, there should be something equivalent for brush ROTATION as well.

This is not true.
It's not a default on the Intuos 4 and there isn't a hot key to map it.

It is true - the ArtPen rotates the brush quite naturally.
He didn't say anything about a hot key.

Ok then. You guys are just saying there is way, but not stating how you do it. Do you even know? So how do you visually control and change the brush rotation/orientation on the fly while drawing/painting?

You physically turn the pen in your hand on the tablet to rotate the tip.
right. exactly what I thought you were talking about. It's pointless. Many people who paint want to precisely see and set the brush angle on the fly before they but they make the stroke.
For example, I use an elongated brush and I want to specifically rotate it 10 degrees without going into the Brush Panel. Turning the brush tip does not achieve this. Kind of like how the hokey works for brush size- I hold down a key, and drag to change the brush size- then paint. Its a fluid workflow. Rotation should work the same way.

HOW ABOUT a feature when you can orient the angle of brush.stamp.etc without opening the panel where you have all the option?It would help for a fast workflow.For example when using the smudge tool to create hair.To keep the orientation for the hair direction you have to open the brush panel every time the orientation change its angle.It can be a shortcut like Space+R.

exactly. the same way that you can change the brush size by holding a hotkey and dragging, you should be able to hold a hotkey and drag to rotate the angle of the brush without opening the panel. It should really be a shortcut like ctrl something in that area, since brush size is ctrl-alt or at least a way to edit the hotkey.
I love using control+option to change brush size on the fly, but I think it'd be even cooler if you could add the shift key to rotate the brush with live visual feedback (especially for clone and heal tools).

yes. visual interactive brush tip control of size, rotation, roundness...

Currently I'm using a script I made as a shortcut to increment and decrement the brush angle with F1 and F2. I'm planning to create a widget so you can change the angle by dragging from the widget. You can follow can me on twitter @patrickdeen if you're interested.
Interested!

Most importantly to me, when I'm rotating a healing brush, I'm usually doing some precision repair work, and will most likely switch to the mouse to keep my overly caffeinated hand shake out of the equation.
