Ian Greig Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 My brush e.g. 50px should appear as a circle, but it changes to a crosshair. The brushes pref. setting 'always appear as crosshair' is UNCHECKED. No modifier I can find will alter this. Ctrl on restarting app and restarting brush settings doesn't work. Any further suggestions? Quote
Old Bruce Posted June 6, 2023 Posted June 6, 2023 Do you have the Caps Lock key on? This will show the crosshair, regardless of the Preferences setting of the crosshair checkbox.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Ian Greig Posted June 6, 2023 Author Posted June 6, 2023 No, it's not that. It's happened from time to time in the past and I could overcome it by restarting the ap. Now it seems I'm stuck with it, although no changes. It didn't seem to come with 2.1.1.0. Quote

If you zoom way out does anything change?

Ian Greig Posted June 6, 2023 Author Posted June 6, 2023 No change with zoom. It may be OS related -- I'm using an ageing Catalina-limited MacBook Pro. System restart usually cures it — until the next time... Yes, I know — it's overdue for replacement! Quote

I'm on an iMac but I also run Catalina & have no such issues with the brush getting stuck on a crosshair.

And you're sure you don't have Caps Lock pressed? That's a new V2 function to force the cross-hair.

Ian Greig Posted June 7, 2023 Author Posted June 7, 2023 No, it's not Caps Lock related. I've tested that. walt.farrell 1 Quote
