Photoshop :: Hand Icon
Jul 18, 2007
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.

After loading a photo and creating a new layer so that I can make adjustments I don't seem to be able to select a tool eg a brush. Every time I move the cursor into the photo it returns to being the little hand icon and therefore won't let me paint (or do anything to the photo.

The CS6 mixer brush stops painting and turns into a hand icon, with only the index finger out, when I paint near the top left of my screen. It's about 3 inches from the left and 2 inches from the top.
I don't have this problem in CS5.5/CS5.1 or CS5 . what the hand icon with only index finger out is for? It's not the move tool icon. I should also add that I'm using Win7 and a Cintiq. and I should add that the standard brushes don't have this problem in CS6.

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?

When I loaded some photo actions into my new PSE11 it show only a generic icon in the effects palette, not the icon from the maker so it takes extra time to search for the action I need. How can I get the icon from the maker to show as the icon in the palette?

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.

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.

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.

I have just purchased Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design and Web Premium. In Photoshop, the hand tool is not working. The hand icon shows but does not pan the open image.

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.

Have been working on some images over several days, when suddenly I can no longer change the tool. It seems locked on the hand tool even thought I haven't even used the hand tool and I don't know what its for...

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"

I start up the program (Photoshop CS) the hand tool is selected. No matter what I try I can not select any other tools at all. I've been trying to self teach myself this program for about 6 months and I've never chosen to use the hand tool at all, so I never intentionally set anything to make it default or anything like that.

In Photoshop CS3, the hand tool is the only tool I can now use: no matter what tool I click, the hand tool stays, nothing else happens. I tried restarting Photoshop and that didn'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.

I just got my new computer, which is much better then my last comp. It Had Vista Pre-installed un like my last computer that had XP. Photo shop runs perfectly fine until I use the Hand tool to move about the image. After that the Brushes lags a good half second behind where i make the mark. If I minimize then maximize photo shop the problem is gone. But i Use the hand tool ALL the time and minimizing and maximizing repeatedly is not a viable solution.

Offline help for Photoshop is zero. Somehow the "i Adobe Help" shows almost no offline help documents; I seem to remember there being more than presently, re "Creative Cloud".
Online help can't be accessed using the top right-hand button.I just wandered around in the maze of web pages, found an invitation to a online live "chat", logged in with my email address and password for another of countless times, filled out a form including my full postal address...then waited from five people in front to...have a chat with someone who could only talk about installations, hadn't a clue about what I had written in the form, said my version of Photoshop was too old to qualify for online chat...anyway, despite the pleasantness of the person the encounter and website system added up to further evidence that Adobe "help" is unprofessional, a waste of time, low cost...And the bug to gety started by Ctrl+Alt+Shift should have been fixed months ago.
I used to have to log in as Administrator, to make Photoshop go; now at least I can have other software running, by the Ctrl++ working (did not work, originally); but now, not having help....don't like it.I am connected to the Internet. The whole time Photoshop claimed I was not, email was being picked up and at one stage I was having an online chat, also getting the same error when testing the "help" button.
I'll be going back to upgrading a big variety of alternatives to Adobe software. I thought having so many, from so many other providers, would be more expensive and less effective than learning the Adobe equivalents; I now believe I was wrong. The bugs don't get fixed and the "help" is a disasterous waste of time.the phone, earlier this year; now I can't find the numbers to phone! Also, the bugs took hours of time that would have been better spent learning the software.Adobe software is used by professionals; whom I believe have better things to do than spend hours because of bugs better suited to Beta/whatever editions. Having the latest version, in a "cloud", means getting the latest bugs first.

I have some hand drawings scanned into a computer that I want to clean up in Photoshop.I'm going to use the eraser tool to erase the smudges, though I want to darken the lines of the drawing without having to trace back over it with a pencil, pen, or paint brush. I played a bit by darkening the levels.

I have several hundred TIF images at 1200 dpi+ which represent scans of hand drawings on parchment paper using pencil or ink-pen (.2mm or thereabouts) of 4000 year old cuneiform documents. The drawings were made over an extended period of time, the paper varied, and ultimately, the scans reflect this in that some lines are darker than others and there are occasional 'smudgy' areas etc.
What I would like to do prior to publication is to sharpen the images and make them consistent across the repertoire as black on white background.
how various Photoshop (CS5, Mac) commands do what they do, but I've found several that seem like they might get me where I want to go: Levels (Auto?), Threshold, Shadows/Highlights. I'd like to automate to run over a directory of images if possible. At the same time, I might have to change the dpi and output format of the new images.
In this case, the drawing is fairly clear (not much 'grey' background) but the lines are not as black and sharp as they could be.

For some bizarre reason, no matter what tool I select in the tool bar the only icon that will show up on the canvas is the hand tool, I can't change it and consequently I can't do anything but move the image around.
I have installed all the updates and patches, I have tried everything I can think of to solve it and get back to work but no other tools will work.
