Digital BW, The Print

I've been going semi-bonkers the last little while, try to see the cursor
while spotting middle grey areas of my images. I was just about to post a
message asking for help, when I discovered a little trick I'd like to share.

Pressing the alt key once changes the cursor back to the readily visible
mouse arrow, making it easy to position in the right place. Pressing it
again restores it to the (in my case) brush-sized cursor.

Maybe I don't need new glasses after all.

Hi Marco-

The caps-lock key will accomplish the same thing- toggles between the brush
size cursor and a point cursor.

Glasses won't help. I wear glasses and it has been driving me mad for 
2 years as I do much photoretouching work. I was hoping someone could 
tell me how to colorize it

Been driving me nuts too - I didn't see an answer so far - CAN you 
change the colour of the cursor ????

Since I upgraded from PhotoShop 5.5 to 6.0, my main complaint was that
the floating brushes palette (F5) was gone, and was integrated into the
clumsy toolbar.  I always liked to work with having a floating palette
nearby.  I asked in many forums if there was a fix for that, but no
suitable answer was given.  Now, low and behold, after almost 2 years, I
found that if you right-click on your image when a painting tool is
selected, a brushes palette will pop up right there !
