Thank you both. I am using Goggle Chrome for my browser on a Mac 10.7.3 Lion.

Yes, I don't know why I can't reply either. It says that I don't have that privilege. I did try the preference you suggested but it didn't change what I was getting before.

My reflexes are a bit dulled today because I have a supreme headache, but...  Didn't you just reply?  

Different computer, different browser, different universe?

I recall reading on this forum not long ago about an OSX problem that was causing some kind of brush cursor inaccuracy (though now I think about it perhaps it was positional, not size, inaccuracy).  Are you up to date on your updates?

Looks like firefox was the key. Thank you for that suggestion. Now it seems to work as expected.

Yes, Noel, I don't know how that happened. I jumped to another page which allowed me to reply. I couldn't get back to that page. I have tried all of the cursor settings in the preferences but it doesn't seem to fix my particular problem.

Now how do I insert an image. Lets see if that will work.

Very appreciative of  all of your help.

Oh oh!  The explanation is HERE

That did the job, PECourtepejoie. I had to turn it down to minimum. Thank you so much. I have tried so long.

Thank you Noel. PECourtejoie solved the problem by setting the Universal Access mouse down to minimum.

Nice picture, it made me smile. Thanks.

RE: Photoshop Cursor (Pointer, Brush Shape, Tool) not changing.

If you already know how to go into the Photoshop>Preferences>Cursors and change the Painting Cursors to your choice (Standard, Precise, Normal Brush Tip, Full-Size Brush Tip etc.) and what you have set (can see in the example window) is NOT showing up on your artwork (canvas, board, workspace, window) then the PROBLEM IS Adobe Photoshop NOT you.

SOLUTION: Quit Photoshop FOREVER (just kidding – I love PS):

1.Quit Photoshop

2. Find a folder called Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings (or your version of Creative Suite) Mine is in MacintoshHD>UserName (my computer’s name)>Library (NOT the System Library)>Preferences> Adobe Photoshop CS4 Settings (open this folder)

3. Here you will see a file called, “Adobe Photoshop CS4 Prefs.psp” and likely was modified “Today”

4. Delete it, or move it to desktop (elsewhere) IT IS CORRUPTED

5. Relaunch Photoshop and this file will recreate itself back to the default settings (Sorry your Recent items list will also go back to default)

6. Open the document you were working on (you saved it?)

7. Within Adobe PS go file, Photoshop>Preferences>Cursor and your OK will actually work.

By The Way:

Preferences Files are used by most applications (MS Word/Excel/PowerPoint; Adobe Illustrator/SoundBooth; Web Browsers etc.)  They record your personal choices on how to interact/interface with the app.   They get corrupted – they just do . . . when you delete one and relaunch, the application creates a NEW Preferences File with the default setting and the “its not changing” problem fixes itself but you will lose all your preferred settings (having to reset them all over again).  Still, this is better than not being able to change things - cause that creates, “User Madness”.

Thank you.  I had to laugh at myself when I saw my caps lock was on.  Thank you for that reminder

When that happens to me it is usually because I don't have a layer selected.
