Can anyone shed any light on why, on my newly installed version of Photoshop CS2, some of the cursors simply don't appear on screen when the cursor is positioned over an image I'm trying to edit? (When over the grey Photoshop work area they appear as a pointer... but as soon as they are over an image, nothing is visible).
If I have Preferences (Display and Cursors) set to "Standard" (i.e. the pictures which represent the tools) I can see:
- move tool
- spot healing brush tool & healing brush tool but NOT patch toolor red eye tool which are on the same pop-out.
- brush tool, pencil tool and color replacement tool
- clone stamp tool & pattern stamp tool
- art history brush tool & art history brush
- eraser tool and background eraser tool but NOT magic eraser tool, which are all on the same pop-out.
- blur, sharpen and smudge tools.
- dodge, burn and sponge tool.
- path selection and direct selection tools.
- add anchor point, delete anchor point and convert point tools, but NOT the pen tool or freeform pen tool, which are on the same pop-out.
- hand tool and zoom tool.
The other toolsnot mentioned here, such as crop, selection, paint bucket, slice etc are invisible. The functions of the tools still work - it's just that I can't see where I'm applying them!
If I set the Preference to anything other than "Standard" (i.e. Precise, Normal Brush Tip, Full Size Brush Tip) then at no point can the cursor be seen over an image, no matter what tool is in use.
I'm running it on a laptop with an LCD screen, 32 bit colour, 1024 x 768 resolution (which seems to be the highest it will do), using the graphics drivers that came with the laptop. It's an LG with 512Mb of 533MHz DDR RAM, and Intel GMA900 graphics.
I could try uninstalling and reinstalling I guess, but I'm trying to avoid having to do that!
