Hello

I am a long time photoshop user. Starting today when I access the brush tool and bring the icon to an image the icon becomes a maltese cross My caps lock is off I am unable to change the size of the brush either by using the left and right bracket keys or the brush size setting on my Wacom tablet. It seems to be frozen. I rebooted to na avail, I shut and restarted to no avail, I unistalled and reinstalled to no avail   I am using version 21.0.2  Please assist

Thank you

Roger Lieberman

Have you changed anything from before it started going wonky? Are you on a Mac or Win machine? Also, have you tried resetting the brush preferences?

Check out the size of the brush. If it is too big you will get the cross hair area like it is cap locked....if this is the reason reduce the size of the brush...

another option is to check the layer is it a smart object?
