There are currently 3 ways to set brush size;
1: Type in a number between 1% and 500%. And yes, this is really cumbersome!
2: In Classic mode, click and drag left/right in the bottom left tool panel where it is displaying the current tool size. Works between 1% to 100%
2a: In Docked mode, click and drag left/right on the size % that’s being displayed in the top Toolbar. Works between 1% to 100%.
3: (My preferred method) Hold down Shift and click & drag left/right anywhere on the canvas. Gives the full range of 1% to 500%.
I have the forward button on my pen set to mimic Shift and it makes changing size super fast!
Why 2 & 2a above don’t allow you sizes larger than 100% I’ve never understood?
As for the Colour Picker, this really should be working for you as you describe already.
In all recent versions of AR holding down the Alt key temporarily disengages the brush so you can sample a colour.
I would note also that when you sample a colour while using the Alt key shortcut, the sampling will be performed using the current settings for the Sampler Tool. So make sure they are configured to your liking first before using the Alt shortcut.
