Where's the Tool gone?

[Gilly B]

OMG what have I done? I didn't touch anything - honest.

Opened up Adobe Photoshop CS2 (as normal) and screen looked fine. Opened an image into the workspace - fine too. Then from the palette of different tools I selected the spot healing brush - nothing but a tiny cross on screen. Using the [ & ] to try and make it visible only increased the size on the top tool bar, but I can't see the tool over the image. I works, but you can't see what or how big it is.

Going through the tools one-by-one, the crop tool, elipitical marquee, healing brushes all work, but you can't see them except for a tiny cross on the image.

Does anyone know what I could have done to cause this :shrug:

Do you have caps-lock on by any chance Gilly?

 

[moomike]

If you don't have, go to your photoshop preferences & select cursors - change it from precise to the tool itself & it should be fine

Or press caps lock. Switches between precise cursor and normal

Doh! I had caps lock on. I never knew that. Geez thanks Mike - panic over.

 

[Gilly B]

....and Marcel Thanks

I'm sure there's an echo in here
