Yet another photoshop question

So ... when I'm using a brush, normally it shows a circle (or shape) in the diameter of the brush. Now, i'm only getting a little cross-hairs, regardless of the size of the brush I'm using.

I've gone into the brushes windows, and played with the presets etc, but I can't quite figure it out. I've also tried reverting back to default brushes, and even turned the computer off, but no luck. It's probably something simple, BUT NOT AS SIMPLE AS ME!

As usual, pleaze to be dumbing down your replies for the tech-impaired.

Go to the menu bar and click Edit, then preferences then cursors. And you can change it there :)

urg! Glockgal figured it out. I had been doing some text and was on capslock.

Photoshop =/= intuitive

Oh wow I never knew that!

What she said *points up*

For reasons I don't get either, occasionally Photoshop does that to me too, and it changes right in the middle of working on something. Frickin' annoying it is.

Ha! Glockgal solved the problem. I WAS ON CAPSLOCK. durrr
Who knew that would change the frickin' cursor??

Caps lock! You're on capslock right now. :D

GET THE EVERLOVIN' FUCK OUT OF HERE! I was on capslock!

Oh man! Geez, I wonder why I FIND IT SO FRUSTRATING!!!!

Thank you dear. Durr. hee! I have to tell a few people who replied to this what it was, because it seems to pop out of nowhere for them too!

*giggles*

AHAHA I KNOW RIGHT. Why Pshop decided that the cursor had to change when switched to Caps Lock is COMPLETELY BEYOND ME.

I'm glad it was a simple solution! \o/ \o/

Oh, and right about now is when I want to PICK UP the drugs! ;)

That happens to me too! And now I know how to fix it! :D

Geez, it seems like it happens to a LOT of people, and other than Glock, nobody knew why the hell it kept happening.

THANK GOD FOR THE INTERNET!

What I know about photshop is opening and closing it. Oh yeah, I can crop pictures. That's it.

I'm just tired of never having anything constructive to say to you, except this time I had to point out that you're not simple, you're BLOND! There's your problem, B/S/W!

Yanno, I'm tired of you having nothing constructive to say to me either. ;p



Any chance of dragging you to Lubricus? Synn's thinking of going too! <3

IN SEATTLE? Yanno, I'm going to DiaCon Alley in the UK, which I think is actually closer.

Honestly, we're going to have to meet halfway on this, you slut! I can't go another year!!

[identity profile] tripperfunster.livejournal.com 2010-12-18 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
When is DiaCon?

I can't go another year either! I miss you!

It's the HP con in Canterbury. C'mon, you can do eeet!

No, I won't be doing Europe without the family, and I"m not dragging the kids there until they're a bit older.

I WANNA SEE YOU!! *sad face*

Hah, yes, the capslock thing made me crazy the first time I did it.
