Hi JeppeVolander,

Sorry that you're having trouble using the Brush tool in Photoshop. Please take a look at this discussion Photoshop: My brush cursor is showing a cross instead of a circle (turn off CAPS LOCK) | Photoshop Family Customer Commu… and let us know if that helps.

Thanks,

Akash

I am unable to use brushes. My Caps button is not locked- that is not my issue. The brush is there, there is just no paint. I believe I will need technical assistance to help me. Can we set up a time, please?

This is still a problem for me. It happens randomly and is really freaking frustrating. I've checked the caps lock, checked the preferences and nothing is fixing it. I generally end up having to restart to make it fix and it makes me really mad because it screws up my whole creative flow.

ADOBE 2021: Caps lock is on

Or

The brush outline is too big to be shown inside the viewing window. Decrease brush size or zoom out

If your brish size is too big than it will show +sing only first u need to lessen the size of brush than try anything else.

I had the similar issue with an (external) magic keyboard and noticed, that my macbook's caps lock was active, but the magic keyboard's was not. Can thus be (apparently) also a bug of the OS. In my case I could solve it by caps locking back and forth on both keyboards :P, if you have a similar bug, rebooting MacOS should also help...

I just want to say that whoever came up with that should not be a designer... why would you not want to see the edge of the brush tool? It's like installing a faucet but fire comes out instead of water...

I'm also having this issue.

And yes, like everyone else on Earth, I'm aware of the damn Caps Lock key. That is NOT the solution.

The size indicator randomly disappears and will only appear again if sizing up or down, but as soon as the user stops holding the button down it disappears again.
