Photoshop Elements 11 Tools not working

[shivelights]

I have a problem in Photoshop Elements 11, I can't seem to use any of the tools. (I use the software rushes for digital drawing)

When I select any tool from the side bar the cursor doesn't change shape and stays stuck on the "grab hand" one, it's only function is grabbing and moving the canvas, no matter what tool I actually have selected.

I'm in "Expert" mode.

I tried resetting the brush tools (as this is the one I use the most) nothing happened.

I tried the reset where you hold down shift+alt/option+command during start up, it changed nothing.

I'm on  Mac, currently running OSX El Capitan 10.11.6

Can anyone help me?

Might be better to post in the Elements forum: Photoshop Elements

thank you, I knew there was a separate forum for elements but I couldn't seem to find it again!

I'll post again there instead
