Great tip! If someone’s never run into this before, it’s ridiculously hard to figure out “what’s wrong.”

I’ve been photoshopping for about a decade now and much like everyone else when my paint cursor disappeared I too thought it was a problem that I needed to restart photoshop to clear up. It just happened to me and So I google it and instantly came here. Thank god, it’s not like the User manual would of help when you don’t know what you’re looking for. Now I know. Thank god.

So how do you fix it when the stuck on precise bug crops up? It’s NOT caps lock on nor is it the selection in display and cursors, which is on brush size, but all the cursors are shown in precise mode. Restarting PhotoShop or the PC doesn’t fix it.

sometimes i see only a part from the brush, for example if my brush is a rectangle,i see only the right side…do you know how can you change that? if you can change it?

Thank you, this is very frustrating. I would just usually go back into preferences and change it to another brush setting in order to get it back, thanks again.

ARE U FRIGGIN SERIOUS. MAN, I’ve been a Photoshop junkie for like 10 years and I NEVER figured this out. I just assumed (which I should never do anymore since I’m always making an ASS and out of U and ME) it was a glitch and never bothered to search “photoshop brush cursor” until now…wow I feel so retarded. But I AM SO THANKFUL!!
