Something with the cursor
Hey all, not really an issue with the book, more like Photoshop itself. It's the cursor, it keeps converting from an appropiate cursor image (picture of a pen for the pen tool, a ball shape depending on how big your brush it, etc), to a cross (+) and it's annoying, as you can tell it's not very nice when I'm trying to accurately paint something, can someone tell me how to fix this? |

Hi Jono, Try turning the CAPS LOCK off. This usually works for me when I get a cross hair instead of the expected tool shape. Vern |

Re: Something with the cursor
I have another problem. When an image is opened in photoshop, the cursor is in arrow shop its default appearance. When a tool is selected it changes shape. After the job is done it is not possible to reverse and go to the original stage. I have to close the photoshop window and open afresh. Is there any method by which one can toggle back and forth from default cursor to tool and back |

Re: Something with the cursor
I am not sure its related, but some graphics cards were/are not compatible with CS4 latest version for the cursor and the rotating etc. Really annoyed me, BUT I was able eventually to download firmware update from graphics card HW supplier NVIDIA for my MS Desktop. It works fine now, but did need a second fixed -> fixed version. There were no problems with laptop.... newer You can see the discussion via Google serach or for me this-> http://forums.nvidia.com/lofiversion/index.php?t86499.html |

Re: Something with the curser
That worked! I can't believe that's all it took. This has been driving me nuts for a year now and all I had to do was hit the CAPS LOCK  .
Thanks Vern! |
