Hi! I have a problem, it just happened now and I don’t know why. It wasn’t like this before.
Whenever I choose the Brush tool to draw, it shows a SQUARE black thing instead of the dot that I chose! This also applies to the Eraser tool!!! I don’t know what’s the problem.
It can be used to draw but it’s annoying! I want my normal Brush and Eraser tool cursors back… does anyone know what to do?:-\

Double check your brushes would be the first thing, because there’s the size and the shape selections…
Then if that doesn’t work, I think there’s a way to reset your palette? I’m not 100% sure where though…

Thanks for the reply, but I managed to fix it in another way:) It seems that it it didn’t like it when I changed to 16-bit mode, so I just changed my system’s preferences, and it’s fixed:) I can once again happily work on my dacing zombies…:cool:

Dancing zombies?
No, I don’t think I’ll ask…
