Question

Every tool is acting like the brush tool

Hi 

 

Ever since I updated Photoshop when I select a photo in Lightroom and choose to edit it in Photoshop any tool I select acts as a brush tool. Its extremely frustrating and time consuming. I've reset the tools numerous times and even uninstalled and re-installed Photoshop but nothing fixes it.

 

Please help?

In my case I found out it was my graphic tablet causing it.

I uninstalled the driver, closed photoshop and reinstalled it and it started working properly

Hi, sorry about that

I don't have a solution, but maybe if you try to reset the preferences will work, here the instructions:

Another option: install a previous version of Photoshop
Go to the creative cloud app and click on the 3 dots next to Photoshop app to see more options and select other versions
you can install a previous version of Photoshop and maybe that will work, sometimes there are bugs and you have to update the system
Let me know if that works
