In addition to no icon showing the type of cursor (Standard or Precise) w/in PSE some cursors diplay as tripple symbols of the selected tool. For example, if the Crop tool is selected three pictures of the Crop tool display as the cursor. I have tried the Control-Alt-Shift reset w/o success.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've been using Elements 7 with great satification for several years now, but recently, the picture thumbnails started to show up as an hourglass icon. I updated to Elements 11 and still had the same problem. I followed some direction I found online for eliminating the catague cache, and it fixed the problem in 11, but not in 7. Till I learn to use 11, I would like to continue to use 7, so how do I fix this problem in Elements 7?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'm using AI CC now, but I noticed this problem in earlier versions of AI: If I want to place a one-word label on an illustration I move the type insertion cursor to a speific point on the screen image and click, but then the flashing insertion point, where the label will actually start, pops up elsewhere, usually a line or two above where the cursor was, and a pica or two to the left, forcing me to type the label, then move it into position rather than simply typing it in the right place and moving on. The problem is merely annoying, but I'd like to fix it. It's probably a matter of ignorance-I simply haven't read the right documentation, but I don't know what to call the problem. Where can I find out how to change the position of the cursor relative to the insertion point?

What is the significance of the changes to the cursor in the following circumstances:-
1.In timeline the 4 headed arrow changes to a white pointer just above the timeline with a small icon behind it and the timecode shows
2.When moved to the ruler, it changes to a double headed arrow with another icon next to it

View 1 Replies View RelatedWorking with CS2 on a VISTA machine. If I save a file as .psd, the file icon is the generic leaf with the PSD banner. All other "save as" will create the icon of the file showing the actual picture. I can't seem to get the picture icon to show up on .psd files. "Save as" .jpg, bmp etc. all show the picture icon fine.
View 11 Replies View RelatedIt has recently become impossible to control the type cursor in Photoshop (also Illustrator and InDesign) so that I cannot select anything with any accuracy.
To begin with nothing on the first line of text can be selected at all and deeper into the text it is not possible to select a singe line of text or a single word or letter. The cursor simply selects in a totally erratic way selecting blocks of text.Therefore it is not possible to edit any text.
In Photoshop CS6 the flashing type cursor cuts through several lines of text (see image).
This makes it hard to select text since it is hard to tell which line the cursor will select (see image).
Can the text cursor be resized? This happens no matter what type size is used or what paragraph settings are selected. I am using Windows 7 professional, service pack 1 on a Dell Precision T3500 with 8.0 GB RAM.
How would i convert an icon file to (say) a .gif file and keep the alpha intact ??
Also, can anyone recommend really good icon sites ?
I am having a very annoying problem with 3dsmax 2014 that i can't figure out. I can't get coordinates to show up at the bottom when trying to create objects, or just move the cursor in the viewport. They will show up if I use move/scale/rotate gizmo though. But they will be blank if I m just moving a cursor around or trying to create a new object (which is annoying since I can't tell for sure what the coordinates will be). On one of the 3dsmax docs I saw that they will be blank if I have multiple objects selected or if I m hovering over an inactive viewport. However, neither is true in my case. I even tried in maximized viewport view and still nothing. And no objects are selected at all.
how to get the coordinates to display when hovering and creating ?
I know I've been able to do it before, but now when I put the selection arrow (black arrow) into a line of type by double clicking, I am unable to then drag the cursor to select the row of type. Triple clicking does nothing.
In other words, double clicking with the selection tool places the cursor in a word, but how to then highlight the word??
In Preferences, it doesn't matter if the 'Double Click to Isolate' box is checked or not and the 'Object Selection by Path Only' is unchecked.
I know it's something simple.
I just purchased a new iMac and have been using Illustrator (CS5) for some graphic design work. However, it's driving me CRAZY because the type and shape cursors are a super small and a light gray in color. It's very difficult for me to track the cursor with my eyes when it is small and gray on a gray and white artboard. Is there some way to make the cursors more easily visible? As far as I can tell, this is only an issue in Illustrator.

I regularly have to edit text within a grid of lines in illustrator. I can replace/edit text zoomed out, but when I try the cursor automatically changes to the type on a path tool. I then have to zoom in, edit text, zoom back out thousands of times a day. It would save me a bunch of time if I could set the type tool to ignore paths and only select text.
I could take the grid of lines on the files I'm working on and send them to back and lock them, but I am dealing with tens of thousands of files, and it's just not practical.
Any way to get rid of type on a path, or at least prevent Illustrator from automatically switching to that tool when I hover the type tool over a path?
My system is Win 7 64bit Home premium. See the screen capture.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI must have fat fingered something and I now when I click on the Eraser Tool or the Brush Mask Tool instead of getting a circle or square, I get and icon of the tool instead.

I've been using Corel for many years and never had this happen and I can't figure out how to switch back.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am experiencing two problems. One is the tool icons in Photoshop are disappearing on the screen. I move the cursor and see nothing on my screen.
The second problem is at other times the proper tool icon and function is not showing up and working. I select for example the pen tool and the hand tool icon show up and the function works as the hand tool not the pen tool?
This function was supposed to be available mid-June. Still, it isn't available or showing in my Illustrator CC, in the "T" type options.
