I get a lot of questions from customers about what to do when Photoshop starts acting like it is in control. I am going to be posting some frequent asked questions from MCP Actions customers and blog visitors.  If you have a quick question about Photoshop you want answered, please email me and I may use it in a future blog entry.  If you have lots of questions on lengthier topics, please contact me for details on my MCP one on one training.

Question: “Why does my brush look funny like this – it was fine a minute ago? And how to I get it back?”  brush Quick Tip | What happened to my Brush?  It looks weird... Photoshop Tips   

Answer: “Your CAP LOCKS is on.  Click CAP LOCK again to get whichever brush tip you set in your preferences.”

    Well holy cow! This has happened more times than I care to count and I never knew what caused it. Thank you so much!!!!

    OH man!!! This has happened to me so many times before! I could never fix it. Then I would have to shut the program down and move onto something else. Then if I was lucky later it would be fixed. Who knew it was a little thing like the caps lock was on.THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

    That hasn’t happened to me yet. I’m sure it will and now I’ll know!

    This has been driving me crazy lately – I usually end up restarting CS3 and hoping for the best. Thanks 🙂

    I’ve had this for so long it’s crazy… Unfortunately I tried caps lock and it didn’t fix it. Any other ideas? I’m using PS3 and I’ve just reset my preferences (thanks for that tip – got rid of lots of little nasties!)
