Liquify tool has no brush but a cross and not functioning

[DenisChauKH]

Hello, 

I tried to use the liquify filter for the first time but it didn't show and function like others.

It should be a brush, instead, it was a cross. When I used the cross, it dragged and moved the image but didn't liquify how it was supposed to be. 

I checked the "Cursors" setting and it was correct.

Please suggest how to bring back the brush function in liquify filter.

Hey, @DenisChauKH!

Thanks for reaching out. It looks like your brush size is pretty big. Have you tired to resize it? That might be why you only see the cross in the middle. Try toggling the brush size under Properties > Brush Tool Options. 

Let me know if that helps.

Thank you for sharing a video of the issue. Can you share the exact version of Ps you're using? Did this happen in any previous versions?

@DenisChauKH Your brush and densitry are a bit high which is causing the image to ust move around. This is as intended, however, you can check the box "Pin Edges" and that will allow the edge to stick. 

If that isn't the effect you're looking for, lower your brush size and density. Play around with those settings to achive the results you like. 🙂 

Hope this helps.
