Custom brush CURSOR? (not tip)

Hey,
I recently discovered why I've been having trouble with precise drawing with my tablet, I keep losing track of the brush cursor, that circle is just too small, same for "precise" brush cursor (cross). I tried the standard brush cursor and it was much better but it lacked precision of telling where the stroke will start.
Is there any way to customize the brush cursor, ie. add a mouse pointer/brush icon to that small circle like it's in PaintTools SAI?

What version of photoshop are you using?
In more recent versions of photoshop i guess the most similar thing to the little arrow in the middle of the brush outline would be
Show Crosshair in Brush Tip in the Cursor section of the photoshop perferences.

Brush Cursor not stable in CS4

I just got Photoshop CS4, and the brush keeps defaulting to the 'precise' cursor and won't stay at the 'normal brush tip'. (circle) It will stay for a few moves, then if I use any other tools, it reverts back.
Any suggestions?

Are you sure that you are not hitting the Caps Lock key?

Mouse cursor will not change to brush cursor in photoshop cs6

Hello can I ask for your help please.
My mouse cursor will not change to a paint brush cursor. I have tried the preferences/cursor selection but it still does nothing, I have also tried resetting the brush tool and still nothing.
I am also using a wacom but I don't think its my tablet, I am using a IMac.
Thank you.

Is the Caps Lock on?

Brush cursor does not match the size of the brush I am using

Recently the brush cursor changed so that it is much larger than the actual brush that is applied to a background or photo. I can't tell where or how big the brush is going to apply. I have reset the brush tool and checked the brush tool options. All are set at zero except the brush spacing which is at 25%. It always sits at 25% spacing. I recently started using a magic mouse on my iMac instead of a regular pc mouse. I am using the brush tool on Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop CS4. Is this a mouse problem?

Which version of mac os x are you using?
See if going to System Preferences>Accessibility>Display and the setting the Cursor Size to Normal resolves the issue.
or
System Preferences>Universal Access>Mouse

Brush Cursor Rotation - Preview available?

The problem is well known:
If you are using a tablet that can detect rotation of the pen you can rotate the angle of your brush along with it. This is very useful in inking and painting. In CS5 you get a preview of the way the brush is rotated - but only with the bristle tip brushes. Normal brushes are completely static in preview. When starting the stroke the preview freezes completely however.
Is there any way to fix this? What reason is there it is not already happening?
This is annoying me no end, as I bought the a wacom art pan to that particular end and now I cannot properly use it. Please fix this, if possible.

"This is expected behavior. Unfortunately it would be too big of a performance hit to update the cursor during painting."
So I can only assume by that statement that this feature has actually been created but not implemented into CS6 do to performance issues? I honestly believe that the minds of Adobe can write this feature without having performance issues if Corel Painter can do it. Also looking at the new features and gpu enhancements, why would performance be an issue? This is a beta, at least have the option be available to use or not use for users .
" Is there an option that allows your Brush Cursor to stay active while you paint? If not, will this option be available?"
The first question was answered but not the second question.
Thanks for your quick responce M Shaw

Photoshop brush does not represent correctly when recorded with Adobe Captivate 7 How do I Fix this?

Hello I have only just recently purchased adobe captivate 7.
I am currently recording some footage in Photoshop and when ever I change the photoshop's brush size it does not correctly record it in Captivate but rather a giant pixelated version of it. or the brush does not match the size of the brush it is painting.
It looks like something like this, http://imgur.com/a/Ko6Wg
I was wondering if it is possible to record the cursor as it displays on my screen.
below you can clearly see it is recording the brush size at the wrong size to what is been drawn. its kinda random in how it does it.
Thanks ahead for anyone who has a soultion.

Hi! I have the same problem and I was wondering if you ever figured how to fix it.

How can I tell which custom brush I have applied to a line?

I've created some custom brushes in Illustrator CC 2014 and applied them to various lines.
Is it possible to know which brush I've applied to a line (like you can see what color a line is by viewing the Color or Swatches Palette). When I activate the stroke the Brushes Palette just sits there, not highlighting anything.

artracer,
Look at Stroke in the Appearance palette.

How to transfer Painter 12 with my custom brushes from old iMac to a new iMac both running Mavericks

Hi,
I just purchased a new iMac. Have Painter 12 on my older iMac and want to be able to transfer Painter 12, with my custom brushes to my new iMac. Tried Airdrop but got a message that it was damaged and that I should trash it. Does any know how to get Painter 12 with all my custom brushes to my new machine? Both are running Mavericks.
Thank you,
Jim

etresoft,
Thank you for your response. I did try to use Migration Assistant and I got as far as the two machines trying to communicate with each other. So I guess the answer to your question would be I tried, I failed and it worked until a certain point. I understand that there are other ways to connect the machines, I would have to see if I have the proper cables to do so. Airdrop did get data to my new machine and that tells me that they do see each other on the network. I do not know why they did not see each other via Migration Assistant. I assume that I could go to Corel's site and download Painter 12 to my new machine, ( my new machine does not have a disk drive ), but I will not have my custom brushes etc. and would have to totally make them up in the fresh install version and I am trying to avoid that.
You are probably correct in saying that Painter 12 probably needs a full reinstallation to work properly. Am I to assume that Migration Assistant will do a full reinstallation, including my custom brushes? I guess I am a little confused here.

Disappearing brush cursor

Hi All,
I've just installed Aperture 3 bought in the App Store on my MacBook Pro and I've got rather annoying problem with it. When I want to use a brush to edit a picture the brush cursor (the two circles) disappears after a split of a second leaving me with the arrow cursor only. It's not there when I want to adjust the brush size or its softness either.
I tried installing it again but nothing changed.
If anyone could possibly help me to solve this problem I would really appreciate it.

What happens if you:
• Repair Permissions (Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility/First Aid)
• Bring the OS and Aperture to their current versions
• Repair Permissions again
• Set the Mac to 32-bit operation
• Restart the Mac and run only Aperture

Custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?

I just started using Flash for my animations and I want to ask if one can create custom brushes in Flash like Photoshop?
Also I imported an embeded video avi into Flash and I want to reduce the opacity of the video so I can create a new layer over it and draw over the frames with the video as reference.I dragged the movie into the stage and converted to movie clip and reduced the opacity but its not showing on the stage when I go to the part of the video I want to draw over.
I use Flash CS3.
BTW,why isn't the bucket tool & selection tool like Photoshop?It makes shading colours problematic?or is it because its vector?

I was not able to access the mc inside the scroll pane with the code:
TweenLite.to(mc_pane2.content.scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLytell_btn, 1,
I had to explicitly specify that it is the mc I am accessing inside the
scroll pane, otherwise I was getting errors:
TweenLite.to(MovieClip(mc_pane2.content).scrollpaneBckgrnd_mc.FloraLyt ell_btn,
1, );
That's OK. It's because ScrollPane::content is of a type DisplayObject. DisplayObject does not contain property named scrollpaneBckgrnd. MovieClip, however, is a dynamic class and enables you to (try to) access virtually any property you can imagine. If it doesn't exist in your particular instance of a MovieClip, you'll get an runtime error.
P.S. If you have time can you briefly tell me why is there a line of code
in your sample:
mc_pane2.update();
ScrollPane::update() measures your content and sets scrollbars accordingly, if needed.
Can it be changed with the size specified for the mc_pane2:
mc_pane2.setSize(556, 300);
what would be the major difference between them?
They definitelly don't do the same. ScrollPane::setSize() sets size of your scrollpane If you get same results using one or the other function, it's because your content is smaller than 556x300px and you don't need scrollbars so in this particular case ScrollPane::update() would "do nothing".

Custom Brushes

I've downloaded and installed a bunch of free custom brushes from the Internet along with a few brushes I made. It is often difficult to know what the free ones will look like until fully installed.
I am looking for a way to select a bunch of them and delete them from my brush list. So far, I am only able to delete one at a time. I tried shift-clicking and Control-clicking to get multiples, but no luck. Any suggestions?
I'd also like to reorganize them so my favorite texture brushes are in one group and all my rough brushes in one group of brushes. (not physically a "group", but just placed side by side in the list). Is there a way to click and drag them around inside the list?
Lastly, It would be nice to color code my favorite brushes or brush styles, similar to the way you can color code actions. Is this possible?
I am working towards cleaning my brush set up and saving them to a brush set I can save and recall. So far, I am selecting a brush I like, then clicking an open spot at the bottom of the list and letting PS add the new brush with a new name. At that point, I am deleting the old one out of the list.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have about 400 brushes sets in my Presets>Brushes folder.
When I go to Preset Manager in an attempt to install one of those sets, the resulting list only shows the set numbers through the letter B.
How can I see the rest of them?
I don't want to install all of them at one time, I just want to be able to choose all of the sets.
How can I do this? I already have Presets Viewer so I know which sets I want to load, I just can't see them in order to load them.
Thanks in advance!
Linda
Edit added 10/22
One workaround that I have considered is to load all of the ones that I can see, remove them from the presets>brushes folder, load another batch, remove those, and so on.
Will removing them from the presets>brushes folder cause them to disappear from the available brushes in Presets Manager?
The downside of this is, of course, having way too many brushes to look through.
Alternatively, perhaps I could creat subfolders in Presets>Brushes, one for brushes starting with numbers, one for brushes starting with A, etc?

Moving custom brushes from Pshop CS5.5 to CS6

Is it possible to move custom brushes from Pshop 5.5 to 6? When I choose Load in 6, I can't even open the Brushes folder in 5.5
Will 5.5 brushes run on 64bit?

Thank you for your professional response. You may be using a different Mac platform than I and all the Mac users I know. When I have Pshop open and search to transfer/load brushes, Finder does NOT appear in the Menu bar.... only the Apple icon and Pshop menu commands. The Apple icon is not the Finder.
When I'm out of Pshop on the Desktop, which THEN displays Finder in the Menu bar, then there is NO way to transfer/load brushes into Pshop.
Therein lies the ambiguity of your initial response.
As you can see by these screen captures, the Rec Brush I created in a tutorial using 5.5 (first three images - v5.5), does not appear (fourth image - v6) when I attempt to Load it into 6 Brushes out of v5.5. Yet the Flames (SS) brushes (second, third, fourth images) I downloaded from a site DO appear and I was able to transfer them.
The Load process (in v6) is not recognizing the CUSTOM brush (generated in v5.5) for some reason...

Brush Cursor don't work correctly in Adobe Photoshop CS 5

I'am using Adobe Photoshop CS 5.1 on my brand new MacMini Server (Mid 2011). Everytime I change the diameter of my brush below 500-600px the brush cursor disapperar. It show the reagular Cursor. The Position of the Brush is also wrong because it has a vertical and horizontal offset, which makes it unpossible for me to use it. This worked correctly of years now with Photoshop CS3 and CS 4 in Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard. Snow Leopard also with Photoshop CS 5. For me it seems to be a Problem of the Intel HD 3000 Graphicsdriver and Adobe says that too. No Way to fix it for Adobe. Other People have the same Problem on their MacBook Airs (Mid 2011). The Problem is also well know at the Adobe Photoshop Support Forum.
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/brushes_not_working_on_201 1_macbook_air
Same Problem with Brushes in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.4.
Hope the Apple will fix that soon, because I'am a Photographer and bought the new mac to improve Speed in Photoshop.

FOUND A WORKAROUND: . . at least it works in my configuration (for two days in a row now).
If I have my external screen (Eizo CG223W) turned on, in standby mode, when i boot-up my mac, and the mini wakes up the screen from it's standby mode: the Photoshop brush issue is there.
If i have the external screen powered off during boot up, and power the screen on manually afterwards, the brush issue is not there
I have no explanation for this but it is a workaround (though not for Macbook Pro users).
There's one issue though: my mouse preferences are changed with this boot-up procedure, the speed is lowered to half speed and i have to change that manually in System preferences every time.
Does this work for others who have this issue too?

How to Keep Custom Brushes in the Brush Panel Flyout Menu?

So I have a set of brushes that I mostly commonly use. However, I still use other brushes on occasion. When I load those brushes, my custom brush set doesn't stay in the flyout menu and I have no choice but to find the brush file and reload it. Every time.
It's getting to be a pain in the butt, so I'm wondering if there is a way to permanently keep your custom brush set in the flyout menu of the brush panel I've attached a screen shot in case what I wanted wasn't quite clear! I want my custom brushes to go where the green area is point.
Also I'm running a Japanese version of PS, but I'm pretty sure almost all the menu places remain the same. I translated some of the menu (although it might not be the exact same as the US CS6, but if you give me instructions, I'm pretty sure I can figure it out!)

Thanks! You're a life saver

Looks like you using mac os x?
There are two places you can put your brush presets file:
1. /Macintosh HD /Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets/Brushes
2. /Users/User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets/Brushes
The difference is that the ones in the cs6 application folder show in your red area and the ones in the library show up below the red area with a separator line

Double brush cursor

I am seeing a double brush cursor in CS5; why? and how do I get rid of it?
It's not the clone tool, it's the brush.
When I resize my brush to a certain size (different sizes for different images) a duplicate brush suddenly appears in the top left corner of my screen and resizes with the brush as I resize it up and down.
Also, if I zoom into my image, suddenly the duplicate brush will appear in the top left of my screen with the same behaviour.
Different images behave differently but it appears to be once I get to a certain size on any image this duplicate brush cursor appears top left of screen and makes it very difficult for me to access menu and tool options.
