Hi all,

I opened my Photoshop today suddenly to find out that my pen tool changed from normal pen tip to a plus symbol..

I have tried to find solution as to how to return its tip to a pen symbol, but was unable to rectify this in Ps Preferences.

Does anyone knows please how to solve this problem?

Thanks

I have tried the Caps Lock key but its not changing. The tip keeps showing the crosshair cursor.

You can try and reset the tool by right-clicking on it in the top Option bar as in this example.

If that does not work: Reset Preferences and for good measure restart your PC.

Note: Unmark your response as "Correct". Wait for a fix and only mark the proper solution as "Correct".

I tried reset tool in its option bar and that hasn't worked. I will reset preferences and restart the computer. I am just uploading video file right now to my dropbox which will take some time to finish.

I will update here my findings sometimes later today.

The Caps Lock key usually switches between the normal and crosshair cursor. Have you tried that?
