ChristiduToit Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 The crosshair cursor for the Freehand Selection Tool (Affinity desktop) can sometimes lead to inaccurate selections as it gets in the way, or covers portions of what you're trying to select unless you're very zoomed in. I imagine this is why Photoshop's Lasso Tool cursor is offset with a little arrow for pinpoint accuracy - the cursor is non intrusive. I've attached a little screenshot of Photoshop's Lasso Tool cursor for clarity. Not a major issue, but it would save a significant amount of undoing and redoing, and ultimately work time.

Wosven Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 In PS I always default those icon-cursors to the cross, for me it feels more professionnal that silly shaped cursors (and searching where is the pointer). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has their own preference I guess. Fortunately PS has the option for you to change it. Perhaps the answer for Affinity would be to also have more options in the app preferences, or have the cursor change to an alternate cursor for certain tools when caps lock is on - also like PS.
