Ok I get two designs done start my 3rd one and go to the eraser tool and it goes to * instead of O so i can erase better! I shut down photoshop and all other programs and then reopen and the same thing happens I have to reboot computer to fix it.. .

Anyone know what im talking about? If so how do you stop that from happening?

Hey Tom,

go to prefs, cursors and choose precise or standard brush size.

htht

digifan · 08-18-2003, 09:39 AM

Weird thing... I have 3 different Photoshop versions installed with different plugins, some are not compatible with version 7 but anytime it happens, I reset the delfault prefs and all work fine *after* a restart.

Wish I could help more.

digifan · 08-18-2003, 01:24 PM

Photoshop prefs get corrupted often.. you should delete them, retarrt the program and there you go.

What he said. Except if you are smart you will store a copy of your prefs file so you wont have to re-customize them each time.

I also have a copy of them saved

I get used to it so forgot to mention in my first post. Adobe are also emphasizing it.

If im understanding your problem correctly try hitting caps lock this should change it.
