Photoshop :: Toggle Precise Cursors WITHOUT Using CapsLock
Nov 12, 2012
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 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.

I am running Photoshop CS3 on Windows XP
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.

I was trying to follow this[URL]...
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 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'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?

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.

Croping by moving the mouse just is not working. Is there a way to crop more precisely? Putting in the measurements I want it to crop to would work.

Ive had this happen before but after restarting the program it usually came back.

i tried cntr+alt+shft at start to reset it, but its still the same.

I've seen plenty of tutorials on the use of the Image > Adjustments > Replace Color... tool and in all of these tutorials, they will simply slide the hue slider to a color they wish to change to. I know that in the replacement section, a user can click the color box and choose a color from the swatches, even copy and pasting a specific hex code value.
This is great for web dev work where I need a precise hex color for an image. Problem is, this doesn't work. It seems to blend the new color with the existing one. What I find myself doing is more of an iterative process then: I'll use the eye-dropper tool on this blended color, then repeat the Replace Color steps again and again until I get something close to my intended new color.

i have heard that older versions of photoshop had a tool called "selection brush" wich i think would be much easier than the lasso or magic wand. is there any way that i can make a precise selection on an image (not being with the lasso or magic wand tools)?

Is there a way to do a precise crop in any units that avoids interpolation. As far as I know entering a size in the input boxes, does not give a crop box of that size, as it does in the selection tool. The only accurate way that I can think of is to use guides to mark the crop and then use the crop tool. A bit primitive is it not?
Also can the guides be set by an input box? It is very difficult to pull them to the correct position, using the info box. I can only set 1000 and 4000, by zooming to 100% and then scrolling, otherwise the info box is too coarse. I suppose someone will say that CS6 addresses this!

My brush and dropper tips had changed when I opened the program today. I'm trying to switch from Precise to Normal. I've tried to change it through Preferences, but it seems that my changes won't save. I have Elements 10 and Windows 8.

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 am using Illustrator CS5 on a MacBook Pro running 10.9.1. When I make new objects their dimensions are not precise, although I am using the application bar to spec the sizes. When I use the built-in calculator function to resize the objects, the errors grow.
For example: rectangle, 7" x 10", intended size. RESULT: 7.0124" x 10.1251". This rectangle has no fill, its rule is 1'.
When I use the calculator to make it 1/9 of the intended size, the result I get should be 0.7778" x 1.111". Instead, the result is 0.0.7653 in x 1.108 in.

I have a little project in mind (I don't really want to say what it is) that requires very neat linework. I have to say that in terms of linework I am superb with straights. I can even do parallel straights!
What I really need though are smooth 90 degree bends and not just for one line, multiple parallel lines.
What is the secret of getting perfect, precise bends? I can do bends but I fiddle for ages to get them to look right. What really interests me is to take a series of parallel lines and bend them as one.

I know that we can have precision movement within viewport using -pan. However that panning is limited to the active viewport, 1 at a time by double clicking in the viewport. Is there a way to apply -pan to a number of viewports, say I want to move all the model space irrespective of scale 300 mm to the west or 100 mm to the north in more than 1 viewport.
