Double Cursor - Hand, Magnifying Glass etc

I'm running CS3 Extended on a Dell Latitude 830 laptop with a Dell bluetooth mouse and a Wacom tablet -- the tablet plugs into a USB port. I'm seeing two hands, two magnifying glasses, two selection tool arrows, etc. Fortunately, only one brush tip. How do I get rid of the doppleganger? It doesn't affect performance, but it sure is annoying. I have a second laptop with a different bluetooth mouse and have shut that off (machine and mouse) thinking it was picking up an extra signal, but it doesn't make a difference. Am out of ideas and can't find a similar problem posted anywhere. Advice gratefully accepted.

I tried every combination of having the peripherals off and on and also completey removed Photoshop and reinstalled it and still have the doppleganger. I think it is a Windows issue -- this new laptop has a high resolution display, which makes the icons in the tool palette so tiny I can't see them. The double cursor started when I reset the resolution. It appears that my display is now set for "multiple monitors" which I don't have. I can't get it back to just the primary monitor so will call the Windows "help" people today and see if they can help. Is there a way to increase the size of the icons in Photoshop without tinkering with the screen resolution?
Thanks for your response to my initial question.

  • Magnifying glass cursor

    Hi !
    I want to use a magnifying glass cursor , how do i set it up ?
    i checked the java.awt.cursor API and didnt find what i need .
    please help me .
    thank you !

    I'm pretty sure there isn't a predefined magnifying glass cursor, so you're going to need to create your own magnifying glass image to use. After you make the image, you can set your program to use it with:
    Cursor cursor = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createCustomCursor(img, hotSpot, name);
    component.setCursor(cursor);
    Here's the documentation for that:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Toolkit.html#createCustomCursor(java.awt.Image,%20java.awt.Point,%20java.lang.String)
    Hope that helps.

  • Changing cursor color?  magnifying glass?

    Anyone recommend a 3rd party set of cursors to use in Logic?
    I'd love to have a bright red cursor that I could easily see.
    Also, I'd love a magnifying glass tool. Some of Logic's text is just too small to see at the resolution where I'm basically happy with 95% of it.

    Not sure if any of these will work with the Intel Macs, but you can ask the developer to see if they do:

  • V6 Magnifying glass search  - drop down box

    In versions prior to V6, I was able to search by: Artist, Song title, Group etc.. By placing the cursor over the magnifying glass search icon, a drop down box was available to provide these search filter selections. This function (i.e. the drop down box itself) does not work in V6. Anyone have a copy of V5 that I can go back to?

    b noir, thanks for the reply. My searches originate in the "Music Store" page not the "Library" page. Here's an example of the functionality I lost. If you ONLY want songs with the word "RED" you now get songs with red, artists with red and albums with red. You cannot JUST get songs with the word red, you're forced to scroll through a lot of extra listings that you didn't ask for. It looks like Apple has decided to down grade the search function post version 4.9, so I'll ask if anyone has a V4.9 that I can go back to. Thanks for your help.

  • Create a magnifying glass on an image.

    I am pretty new to Flex. I am trying to create a magnifying
    glass for an image viewer. I want to move the cursor over an image
    that will zoom in on a 200X200 area. I don't want to zoom in on the
    whole image. I can see I can probably do it with the Bitmap class,
    but I do not see how I can cut out a piece of the original bitmap
    to display. Also, Flex seems to have a lot of similar features like
    Zoom, but I can't see how to use any of these cool features to do
    just what i want to do. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks

    The way I do this in Flash is to have a masked enlarged image
    on a seperate layer with the magnifier acting as the mask. The mask
    object is draggable, so it reveals to larger image as you move it
    around. There is some math involved to make it track like it is
    actually revealing the smaller image.
    The layering looks like this:
    mask object
    large image
    small image
    mask is a property of flash.display.DisplayObject and
    mx.core.IFlexDisplayObject. I haven't played with this yet in Flex,
    but I'm sure it should work similarly to what I've used in
    Flash.

  • How do I create a magnifying glass zoom effect?

    I'm building an image 'showcase of work' website site. Each html page features a selection of thumbnails on one side linked to a main image on the other.  I am trying to find out how to create something like a zoom effect 'magnifying glass' so that the user can hover over the main image to zoom in within a confined circle or square in more detail, which moves with the mouse whilst hovering over the image. I'm sure you all know what I mean!  (just in case, please see attached html file showing the page layout)  (I also don't want to get too techy/over complicate things as I'm learning as I go). I want to be able to use this feature throughout the site, therefore, I guess it's another CSS rule that I need to apply...?
    I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction to find some sort of step by step 'how to' do this.  I can't seem to find just what I'm looking for... maybe I'm not calling it by the right terminology!
    I'm currently using Design Premium CS4 (predominantly Dreamweaver, Photoshop and a little Flash)
    Cheers....

    Hi
    Magiczoom and lightbox are used for showing enlarged versions of images etc. similar to using a separate pop-up window (but without the annoyance of pop-up windows).
    Anythingzoomer is a magnifying glass effect and works as such.

  • Can't delete history when using magnifying glass icon on home screen. Anyone know how to? Thanks.

    If I click on the magnifying glass icon to do a search for something - the icon of the place I searched stays in the window and I can't seem to delete it.  Does anyone know how to delete that history? I can delete my browser history by clicking on the little box in the lower left hand corner of that screen, then clicking on history then selecting and clicking "Clear History." That option is not available when you use the magnifying glass icon.  Help! Thanks.

    When using "SearcH" (the magnifying glass), you can cler your your search history.  Swipe down from the top of the screen, tap "Settings", then "Delete Search History".  I think this is what you're looking for.

  • The Magnifying Glass

    Okay, another thing I really (thought I would have) liked about BB OS 10.3.1 is the magnifying glass that lets you use the keyboard-**bleep**-touchpad to easily pinpoint precisely where to insert the cursor...but it looks like this functionality is only available when inputting data, as in populating text fields...that's all???
    Would have been great as a mouse pointer substitute.  As it is, it isn't even available in all cases of a text input field, either.  For example, on Google Calendar, it pops up once an event is being edited, but not for any text input field available through the primaray calendar view itself at first....

  • Bridge's magnifying glass

    How can I rid myself of it? When I have pictures on right-hand side of the screen and click on a picture in the "large" area, I get a magnifying glass.
    I can find no preference to rid myself of this.
    Can anyone offer help?
    Suzie

    It's called the Loupe, and the "large area" is called the Preview panel.  Read the manual (User Guide) and the Help files.
    What version?
    In Bridge 3.x (that comes with Photoshop CS4) you can set your preferences so the Loupe only shows up when you Command-Click on the preview.
    In prior versions, you're stuck with it unless you refrain from clicking on the preview.

  • Magnifying glass iOs8

    Hello,
    I upgraded to iOs8 and everything was going smooth at first but then I got that weird problem with the magnifying glass that pops up when you hold your finger over text that you've typed and want to use that magnifying glass to zoom in. I hold my finger, the thing appears for less than a second and disappears though the cursor does move in between the letters. I tried to restart my phone 3 times and it did fix the problem but for about 10 mins, then it got back.
    What will you suggest I do to get rid of that unpleasant situation?
    Thank you for your help!

    If you mean that the Zoom tool was removed from the application bar then yes, that was intentional, they needed to make some extra room for the workspace switcher. Anyway, why bother to select the zoom tool? Ctrl+Space and the new scrubby zoom is much faster

    Hello linaka21,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    If the issue persists, the last thing I recommend is backing up and restoring your iPhone:

  • Pages: magnifying glass in horizontal mode.

    in "pages", when the orientation is horizontal, the magnifying glass appears to the right of the finger as if it were a vertical orientation.

    Close the file, then close Pages and double click the home button to bring up the app switcher view. Swipe up on Pages to close it. Re-open the app and the file.

  • [iPhone] Magnify glass not work 2.1 with UITextField in UITableView

    I have a UITable with custom a UITableViewCells that I add a UITextField to.
    In 2.0 the magnify glass sort of worked. You could press and hold on text in the UITextField and the glass would appear. (But once appeared you couldn't drag your finger back and forth to move the cursor, but instead have to tap to move the cursor.)
    In 2.1 I can't get the glass to even appear.
    Is there something I must do to pass along events up the food chain so that the system can process the events for the magnify glass?

    Make sure your table is editable (i.e., its editable property is set to YES). Seems to work as expected when I do that. Took me a couple of weeks to figure this out! See here for more information.
