I'm running CS3 Photoshop on an Intel Mac, OS X.4.10
I set the cursors in preferences to:
Painting : Normal Brush Tip
and
Other Cursors: Precise
However when I use the Brush tool, healing tool, clone, etc. I only get the "Precise" crosshair (the cursor that looks like a plus). This really sucks because I can't see how large the brush is nor the area I'm painting. Holding down shift key doesn't help either. I reinstalled PS and the problem persists. Only when the brush tool is below 40 pixels does the Brush cursor that I want (the brush circle) show up. Photoshop into using the brush cursor?
when I use photoshop the cursors are 'Normal brush tip' and 'standard' as I have set them up in the preferences and sometimes they revert back to what I assume must be the default settings. The only way I can get back to the settings I have set is to close Photoshop, close windows and start again.
But the location it suggests (C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)Plug-InsFile Formats) does not exist. I've managed to find an alternate location, I assumed it must have changed in CS6.
C:Program FilesAdobeAdobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)RequiredPlug-Ins contains a File Formats folder. I copied the .8bi file for .cur files and it still did not allow me to save anything as a .cur. I am using Windows 8, 64 Bit.I also copied the file to the Adobe Bridge CS6 Plug-Ins folder.
I have Photoshop 6 in Windows 7 Home. Trying to use Clone Stamp tool to fix photo, but the cursors are too small to see, so I can't do anything with it.
I can change the default cusor in XP Pro but it doesn't carry over to PS. The preferences/display&cursors tab is limited.
What I need is a heavier cursor or full cross hairs. I'm running 1920 x 1200 on a 22 inch Sony LCD screen. With aging eyes it's too difficult to pick up the tiny cross cursor on various photo backgrounds.
I cannot stand the CapsLock key. In fact, I modified my registry to remap the caps lock key to ALT-NumLock or something. But every time I use Photoshop, I have to be able to toggle the capslock key to enable disable precise cursors. So, then, I switch back to my primary app (InDesign, Illustrator, Dream weaver, anything ) and I type about 30 words before I realize I still had the CAPS Lock on.
there is a way to remap the precise cursor toggle to another key.
I've been using photoshop CS6 since it came out of beta, and I've been happy with 99% of the interface changes, except for some of the the new tool cursors which now have arrows in the upper left corner. I've been meaning to post this a while ago, but it seemed that the forums were offline.
One example is the crop tool, but what mainly hinders me are the lassos and paint bucket cursor icons. Is there any way I can replace those with the original ones from cs5 and prior?
When you pick up a tool, and it has an icon of an object (i.e. a lasso), your instinct is to look at and use the tip of that object, not some little black arrow in a corner.
For example, you wouldn't want to have an arrow next to your text cursor, or next to your magic wand cursor, would you? You'd want to use the tip of the wand.
I'm not sure what part of the user community suggested these little arrows be added on those tools, but I find it to be a bad design idea. And it's an annoying choice imo, beacause it doesn't make sense from an interaction design point of view, and not because it would be hard for me to get wrid of my habit of using the tip of the lasso, and to get used to the arrow instead. It's bad, because now, there are two conflicting pointers in the same tool: the icon tip and the arrow tip.
[EDIT] I'm sure people will say that they prefer the new design, arguing about "design consistency" and whatnot. So this is why I ask if there's a way for me to replace the cursors in my photoshop, not everyone's.
I don't know what I pushed but suddenly my cursors have changed. My clone stamp now has a clone stamp icon instead of a circle and my spot healing tool has some tiny icon too instead of a circle.
What did I do to create this problem and how do I go about resetting it to what the cursors were? I'm using CS5 but then I had the same problem with CS3 too and never figured out how to fix it there either.
Certain selected tool cursors are almost invisible on my workspace. The lasso, type, rectangle, line tools when selected and moved into the workspace are almost the same colour as the background so it is impossible for me to get any accuracy with these tools as I can't find where they are on the page.
The other cursors, pencil, pen, eyedropper etc are coloured in black so it's fine. Is there a way of altering the other cursors so they are black too? Or finding another solution?
i'm working with CS4 on a brand new Macbook Air 11 inch.
Ive had this happen before but after restarting the program it usually came back. the circle that outlines the size of the brush has disappeared, so all i have is the little + sign.
i tried cntr+alt+shft at start to reset it, but its still the same.
I upgraded my Paint Shop Pro from X2 to X4 recently and now I find that the precise cursors seem to be broken.
The crazy thing is that it has broken X2 as well so I'm a bit stuck. I know that it used to work because I use PSP for digitizing vector curves and have existing drawings where the vector node is not at the center of the pixel grid.
When capturing screenshots with Corel Capture X6, the captured cursor always defaults to the Windows arrow pointer in the screenshot. For example, say you were taking a screenshot while using the Pen tool in CorelDRAW. The cursor is a fountain pen tip. In the screen shot it shows as the default Windows arrow pointer. Another example, you take a screenshot in Photo-Paint while using the Paint tool and the cursor looks like the brush you are using, but the screen shot shows it as the arrow pointer.
I've just set up a new macbook air from a time machine back up and for some reason my cursors in illustrator 5.5 are white making it very difficult to use. All was and is still fine on my macbook pro with the same version.
After install the Orgainzer works but the Photo Editor doesn't. When I click the Photo Editor in the splash screen it tells me my trial period is up. I'm using Windows Vista Home Basic 32 bit

HDR Pro was working fine for me a few months ago, but now it just will not get off the ground. there are no Message boxes appearing either, and it looks as if it's just crashing.
My system is an iMac with the following:
8gb RAM 1600Mhz DDR3 3 TB fusion drive 3.2Ghz intel Core i5 OS X Version 10.8.4 Camera: Nikon D7000
When I try to merge 3 RAW files in to HDR Pro it will start stacking the images but at the end returns to the Photoshop App screen with no trace of the HDR screen. I have gone in to preferences> Interface> checked the box 'Open documents as tabs' but this is not working.
When using "Edit in Photoshop CS6" from Lightroom 4 I just go into Photoshop CS6, not Adobe Camera Raw (ACR). Cannot access ACR directly from within Photoshop either.
It works from Bridge tho'. Have checked out many forums and see other people with this problem, but main response, to remove com.adobe.Photoshop.plist from Library/Preferences, or reinstalling Photoshop and Lightroom, do not resolve it for me. All software, including Camera Raw (7.2.0.46) is up to date. Use 16 GB iMac and OS X 10.8.2.
I am running on an AMDPhenom 6cpu 3.2 Ghz machine with 24GB of memory and 64bit, Windows 7. Graphics card is ATI FireGL V7700 with 512Mb of memory. When I try to create text in 3D, the 3D options are all greyed out.
I forgot to add that I am on CC version 14.1.2. The gpu OGLVersion=3. Is it possible that AMD V7700 is not supported for 3D on Photoshop? I do have the "Use graphics Processor" checked in the Performance tab of Preferences.
I am trying to use the cloning tool, however, the ALT key does not seem to work.
Every time, I use ALT and click it comes up with the following message: "the area to clone has not been defined. Use Option Click to define area." Basically, when I press the ALT key on my keyboard it resizes the screen and gets rid off the Tools bar and menu in Photoshop CS4.
I have a bmp file which when i open in windows paintbrush appears colored. when i open the same bmp file in photoshop 7 it appears black and white. plz help me to open a bmp file in photoshop 7 as in paintbrush ....
I have two compositions that I've been working with in CS2 on my laptop running XP pro 32bit and when I transfer the files to my workstation at home running XP pro x64, I have issues with the file. If I try to use the eraser or the brush tool, nothing happens. Is this a bug with x64 or do I need to change some settings? I just recently upgraded to x64 for the increased RAM capabilities and this is the first time I've tried to use CS2 since upgrading.
I have problem with Photoshop cs's keyboard shortcuts. Actually with just one but it's still annoying. Suddenly hotkey(s) for Step Backward function doesn't work (Ctrl+Alt+Z) anymore and don't know what do about it. I tried change the key combination but my Alt button doesen't seem to want to cooperate with me (Don't think it's a keyboard malfunction). Finally I had to use new combination excluding that Alt.
Just upgraded to Creative Cloud CS6 Photoshop on my Xeon Mac Pro, 16 gigs ram, tons of disk space, Mac OS 10.7 and when I take a screenshot I can't import it to Photoshop.
I get the message that it could not import the clipboard because the file is not a TIFF. I have work to do but I can't do it without importing screenshots from the clipboard. Reverting to CS3 isn't an option because I've upgraded to OS 10.7 and it no longer works.
I have just installed Adobe Creative Suite 3 Design Standard on my new MacBook Pro. I have activated it. However when i start Version Cue CS3 and check for updates i get the message "No Internet connection. Please check your Internet settings and /or firewall. Waiting for connection...". I have turned off my firewall and the antivirus program and I still cannot get it to work.
I also cannot start Photoshop CS3. When I open the application a blank window titled "Adobe Design Suit Standard CS3" appears as well as Photoshop toolbars which I cannot select. All the options on the toolbar is greyed out and I cannot select any of them. I have to force quit the application.
I have Toshiba computer, Vista and I can't get 3D to work. I looks like Adobe Creative Cloud might not be compatible. I need 3D to work for my class at college. It keeps telling me OpenGL us disabled. I can't find a solution to enable it.
Most of my users are working on a secure network without any internet connection. Then they wont be able to activate Photoshop CS6. I just heard that AAMEE can solve my issue and generate a MSI package with all necessary activation information.
I installed and used AAMEE (3.1.108.0). My first impression was, too easy.
But at final the MSI is not working. I tried from a command prompt with administrator rights (run as). The installation starts but it failed at the end. The progress bar goes back.
I had Win7 and didn`t have any problems but I bought Win8 upgrade and I install it without any changes of my PC settings ... that was option offered from Win8 insatallation manager.
My problem with Ps CS6 is next my files are open as a tabs and when I "move" image with hand tool the paste board flashing from dark grey to transperant...very anoying.
Sometimes when I "scale" image with move tool image area get black and I can`t see the image scale... How to fix that
