Photoshop 2020(v 21.2, 21.2.4): Tool changes to cursor arrow and won´t change back or do any thing

[Miguel5EAC]

I´m working with any tool and sudenlly it changes back to cursor arrow and won't do anything else. I can still save my work and restart the program but before long it does that again. I've been working with versions 21.2 to 21.2.4 and they all do the same. Can anyone help me? Can't work like this.

Hi there,

Sorry that Photoshop 2020(most versions) suddenly change any tool in use to a cursor arrow and does not allow you to change it back,

It seems that the problem is with the Photoshop app preferences that might be corrupt. 

Would you mind restoring the preferences for Photoshop & see if it helps? See this article for reference: https://t.co/ulJI7cGn1G You may want to backup your settings beforehand: https://t.co/4dX7gkr36D

Thanks,

 Are you using a graphics tabler to draw in Photoshop? Would you mind sharing some details about your workflow in Photoshop?

Hi, yesterday I worke fine, but it done it again. I use a wacom tablet but I've desconected it and it still has the problem. I use the brush tool to make masks and edit pictures mostly.

Apparently, update to version 22 fixed this problem.
