I am using photoshop elements 8 on a Windows 7 OS. My cursor often turns into 3 hands with the index finger pointed. Is this normal? How do I get it back to just a simple arrow?

i dont know why but sometimes my mouse cursor changes to a cross hatch rather than be an arrow or circle? why is it changing and how can i get it back to like a circle?
its very annoying to paint or erase using the cross hatch as the exact area that will be covered is not shown!

This circular cursor does not let you do anything with the drawing, you just have to keep hitting esc until it gives you a fatal error message that says "FATAL ERROR: Cannot write to undo file (probably disk full)" and it kicks you out of autcad. How to get rid of this ciruclar cursor?

I'm trying to recreate that image to a higher standard for a mate of mine who runs that company, all he's got at the moment is that hideous thing I copied and pasted from a word doc he emailed me.
I was coloring skin textures on a drawing using a spatter brush with flow at 25%. Then i switched over to the blur tool to smooth it out. it was ok.. but not quite what i was looking for, so i switched to the smudge tool. Using that tool with the "sample all layers" box checked, made it look really nice-- so i drew some freckles on the face and the smudge tool really blended them into the skin without making them look blotchy.
So here's the problem: I clicked on the "finger paint" box to see what other effect it would give but it seemed to pick the foreground colors and smear it across the drawing. I didn't like it so i unchecked the box. it was still smearing across the drawing. so i checked and unchecked again... nothing. I searched the internet and all i could find was if any weird behavior arises and persists, restart Photoshop, and while its booting up, hold Ctrl, Alt & Shift to clean out the Preferences. So i did. Same thing.
How to get this tool to function as it was initially. The smudge tool seems to be 'stuck' on the "finger paint" option or feature no matter if the box is checked or unchecked.
what plug-in that I could use to add a magnifying glass to an image? Inside the magnifying glass I want that part of the image zoomed in. Also I want to add a thumb or finger print to the image. Is the best way to add a finger or thumb print to the image to add a new layer or is there a plug-in or brush that would do this?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI set up SDKs on my character's fingers. Everything was working fine. Fingers rotated properly from the open hand "0" position to a closed fist at the "10" position. I have the hand set up as the Driver and the fingers as the driven.
I then wanted my IK arm to work in FK, so I went into my attribute editor for IK pole vector constraint and checked on "IK/FK Control". I did a few rotations of the elbow joint and everything seemed fine.
I then went back to do some work on my hand, and when I when to change the values in my channel box to get the hand to clench, the fingers did not rotate into a fist, but rather went in all directions.
I can get the hand to work correctly intermittently (when I go back to the bind pose), so I know the correct rotation information is there. I have tried deleting history and making sure translations are not set on the hand. Would this be a gimbal or a local vs. global orientation problem?
Also, a side question: I noticed that when I built the SDKs for the fingers, I had numerous "blendWeights" created. Are these weights involved with moving the fingers between the minimum and the maximum values you set in the SDK set-up process?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen I'm working in an image, and in other places, the cursor is a horizontal series of symbols rather than the pointer arrow I'm used to in PSE 6, 10 and 11. The left side of the symbols is where the cursor is at.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI’m getting a strange cursor when I use the Paint Bucket tool. Instead of the bucket with the pointy bit to show where you’re aiming, I get three tiny paint buckets in a horizontal line, looking a bit like a fragmented ruler, so it is impossible to see where the point of the paint bucket is. I have used CAPS LOCK to get the crosshairs but would refer the normal setting to be available too.
I have shut down the PC and restarted with PS9 as the only app open but I still get this funny cursor. Some of the cursors from other tools are also affected, esp. when I left-click.Have I changed a setting by accident?
My cursor will not show the brush size any longer and making changes to my preferences seems to have no effect.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI use Adobe Photoshop Elements Version 8.0, and I use Windows 7.
The problem: Whenever I use any tools involving the usage of the mouse on the canvas, everytime I click to use the tool, sometimes the cursor seems to 'jump' out of position and I end up unintentionally putting paint on the wrong part of the canvas. And before I release the click, I try to move the mouse around in random directions to no avail; the mouse doesn't respond until I release the mouse. In another similar case, sometimes for a split second the cursor seems to move on its own and it leaves behind a random trail of color. Example: Let's say I wrote down my name 'Andrew' on the canvas. I end up something similar to 'Anc e.", along with a black dot/calligraphic stroke or two unintentionally placed when writing down my name. I had to undo and click several times until I properly got the tool working. I'm working on a certain project in PS
