Get Your Photoshop Brush-tip Back
Saturday, September 8th, 2007
The Scenario: You’re working in Adobe Photoshop with the brush tool and suddenly the brush tip indicator changes to a cross-hair. And you don’t know why because you’ve long-ago memorized all the various possible keystrokes and you no longer look at the keyboard for shortcuts. So now you’re stuck there with a cross-hair and your trying to paint out an area.
What do you do? I sometimes would go as far as restart my computer to get my brush tip back. This was after searching through all the preferences, on-line help, etc. Last night I discovered the simple shortcut for getting back the brush tip. It’s the CAPS LOCK key. Duh! Either I’m the last person on the planet to learn this, or no one else has this problem.
Are there shortcuts you’ve learned by accident that for some reason no one else every bothered to share with you, and they don’t seem to be in the book? Feel free to share, and link to your own happy accident tip.
