Photoshop :: "Hand" Cursor
Aug 16, 2007
I just recently downloaded the Adobe Photoshop CS3 Trial, and I've been using it for a couple days now. I was using it today, and I don't know what I did, but my cursor is a 'Hand', but it seems I cannot do anything, or change to a different tool, such as a brush. I'll click the brush tool, but the cursor will remain the 'Hand', and same with all the other tools. I also opened another version of Photoshop that I own (Adobe photoshop 5.0), and the cursor there is also a 'Hand', and it's the same problem as in CS3.

I'm working along in PS CC (and this happened in CS6) and all is going fine. Then for some unknown reason the cursor changes to a hand and none of the tools will work. The only way to reset PS, is to restart the computer. Just restarting PS won't work.

The cursor displays the Hand on any image I open, regardless of what tool is selected. I can select other tools, change the pallette and the cursor is normal but I go back over to the image and it goes to the hand and I can't do anything.

Working away in ps cs5 and click on the direct selection tool and all I get is the hand (move) tool and what ever tool I click on I just get the hand tool! This happened in indesign too.
It goes back to normal if I reboot and just found that when i opened illustrator while having this prob in ps and then went back to photoshop the problem rectified.

I've never had this issue before. Can't get anything done with it like this Did I make a global change without knowing it? I shut it down and restarted but its the same. The tool bar changes to the correct function .i.e. zoom, or crop, or whatever I choose. But it won't do anything but pan...

I'm running CS3 Extended on a Dell Latitude 830 laptop with a Dell bluetooth mouse and a Wacom tablet -- the tablet plugs into a USB port.
I'm seeing two hands, two magnifying glasses, two selection tool arrows, etc.
How do I get rid of the doppleganger? It doesn't affect performance,
I have a second laptop with a different bluetooth mouse and have shut that off (machine and mouse) thinking it was picking up an extra signal, but it doesn't make a difference.

For cropping part of an image, the cursor virtually snaps to positions according to what the programmer sees in the image. Maybe not always, but that is the way it seems to me in many cases. Even when it does not do so, I find it impossible to move the cursor in very tiny increments by using my mouse. If I were to greatly enlarge the image on the screen to get finer control, then only part of the image would fit on the screen. I want a technique for controlling the selection with as much fine precision as is available when resizing, for example. We can specify hundredths of a millimeter when resizing; very finely precise indeed.
Is there a technique that I can use to have very fine and precise control of a crop, preferably by specifying a movement left-right-up-down using decimal fractions of a unit of distance? The same question applies to using the selection tool.

Why does dragging on a Touch Screen change the cursor into a Hand Tool? This did not happen in CS 5.5 and I could edit on my touch screen monitor. With Photoshop CS 6, as soon as I start to drag, the cursor changes to a hand cursor. I have look at all of the system options and nothing seems to affect it so I have to assume it is something wrong with Photoshop CS 6.

How do you change the characteristic of the cursor from Hand (Move Tool) back to just being a pointer? This condition only exists in the Develope Module when my cursor is placed over the top of the photo. When I move it off the photo it returns to a pointer. In the Library Module it is always a pointer like I like it to be.

I have a modeled right hand part and a detail drawing of that right hand part with a pin that defines r.h from l.h. and I would like to save them as a left hand part then change the model by reversing the pin. How would I proceed with this task?

My cursor appears and disappears while in GIMP as I move the cursor over the canvas. I can make the cursor appear but only if there is no movement of the cursor. It makes no difference which tool I select, the size of the canvas, or the level of zoom.
Please note that this only occurs in Gimp, and none of my other applications. It started when I upgraded from openSUSE 12.1 to 12.2. I'm assuming that it has something to do with my input device configuration, but I could be totally wrong.
I have a total of 3 input devices - Core Pointer, Logitech USB-PS/2 Optical Mouse, and Virtual Core XTEST Pointer. Both the Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer are DISABLED. Core Pointer is the only one enabled. Enabling Optical Mouse and XTEST Pointer give me other problems in Gimp and need to remain disabled.
For the Core Pointer, Mode is set to SCREEN, a message says that 'The axis X has no curve', and the following Axis Settings:
X 1
Y 2
Pressure none
xtilt none
ytilt none
wheel none
In Gimp Preferences->Input Controllers, there are three active controllers - Mouse Buttons, Main Mouse Wheel, and Main Keyboard.
OS: Linux 3.4.11-2.16-desktop i686
System: openSUSE 12.2 (i586)
KDE: 4.8.5 (4.8.5) "release 2"
Display Info:
Vendor: Intel Corporation
Model: G33
2D driver: intel
3D driver: Unknown Gallium (9.0.1)

In Xcode, we have to define cursor as:
resource 'CURS' (16001) {
$"00 00 00 00"
$"18 00 3C 00"
$"1E 00 0F 00"
$"07 80 03 C8"
$"01 E8 00 FC"
[Code]...
In Windows we use .cur file, simpler.
I want to convert .cur file to the mac format above, how?

I've just found a copy of Photoshop cs4 at a price I might actually be able to afford. I'm a little worried that there might be a problem with the activation code though. Is anyone here using a second hand version of photoshop or has anyone had a problem reactivating a product. Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's still quite a lot of money to shell out for something that won't work.

On any picture I bring up, it has a hand. Regardless of the tool, a hand appears on the screen. I reset the toolbar and still appears.
Any ideas?

i have recently upgraded my computer with a new mb, 8gb ram, clean install of vista 64 bit and cs4. after initial problems with screen lag i installed a new graphics card and all seems to be working fine. problem is using the hand tool. i was accustomed in cs3 to comparing two files side by side, let's say the same image with two different levels of sharpening. i was able to view both images at 100% and using the hand tool move each image independently. this made comparing particular areas of the images easy. in cs4 when i open two images and use the hand tool it moves both images at the same time.

My cursor is showing the hand tool no matter what tool is selected. And the tools of course do not work then. PS restart does not help, I have to restart the PC (Vista 32 Ultimate).
I read about this problem many time in the web. Why isn`t there any solution? Even CS4 11.01 has this bug.

I'm a photoshop noob and I just purchased the CS3 version.
I've been experimenting with different texts and styles and everything was going fine until..
I must of hit something by mistake but every time I click on a new tool icon on the left hand side (like text or brush for example) it doesnt come up. When I mouse over my image all I get is the hand icon. Its like stuck on the hand icon or something. I've been trying to figure it out for the past 20-30 min.
Closing photoshop doesn't fix it either. I'm thinking I must of put myself in some special mode or something. The tool will be highlighted to the left..but like I said all that shows up when I mouse over is a little hand icon.

way to use the hand tool (or spacebar) even if the entire image is visible, like you could do in previous versions. One might wonder why you would want to pan if you can already see the entire image. This comes up when one of your layers is bigger than the main image. If you try to Transform the layer, but the transform handles are off the edge of the screen, you need the hand tool. Otherwise you have to zoom out even further to get at the handles.

Not sure how to really describe, other then i have recently (because of my playing with Photoshop) gotten back into some doodling, I have seen a few posts here and there of people doing hand sketches and transfering them to photoshop and "painting" them.
My big issue atm would be getting the outline darkened and cleaned up, I know my pictures are a bit "rough." Everytime i try to sharpen the outline it gives me a kinda black and white esque photo copier effect, I know i could probably skip this step and just ink the original and work from that, but is there a way it would work on here?
Here is an example of the pick i'm working with now, just a simple sketch i did in a couple free minutes the other day.

the Situation:
Model posed, lying flat with hands above head. Good shot, but the visible hand is smashed into a pillow a bit-- but it's not too bad-- i'm thinking i can "rebuild" the missing palm/ wrist area, but i realize that this is a difficult and touchy area-- it could turn out really bad if i'm not careful. if i do well however, it might not be too noticeable, after all-- it's likely not going to be the subject of focus.
i'm looking for suggestions about what technique should be employed here, in order to get the most out of what's available, and also any ideas for how i might best "rebuild"
