Tip for 8/2 - are you seeing "crosshairs"?

[angedawn]

I know, it's really the 3rd! :o It just took us a little time to get this forum set up over here... so really next week this will be a TUESDAY tip! lol! OK here goes!

If your cursor shows "crosshairs" when it used to show brush size...
check your "Caps Lock" key. It toggles the cursor display from brush size to crosshairs.

Don't be afraid of the crosshairs though, they can be helpful if you are trying to do some very precise brushwork.

Wow, thanks..I didn't know that! Sometimes that has happened to me and I think I have a really small brush size and when I go to use it it's huge but I can't see it. Thanks for the Tip!
