Hi Everyone, I was messing around on Photoshop last night and I opened it again today. However, I can't use any of the tools - only the hand shows up. So if I tried using the paint bucket tool, brush tools, etc. the hand just clicks down and nothing happens. What did I do and how can I fix this?
That's happened on CS3 with me and I just reset the workspace layout and it returned to normal. If this is the case, just click on the workspace drop down menu and select which ever workspace you were using, or default, and it should return to normal. Hope this helps.
I agree with VEGA. Experienced a similar problem. I suggest you try to restore it to default workspace. If that doesn't work, maybe one or more of your PS program files are missing or something (it was that for my case). I had to repair the software using the CD. My friend who had a similar problem informed me that he was loading too many add-ons (styles, shapes, brushes, etc) and only the hand tool appeared next time he opened PS. For his case, it is probably due to insufficient memory. He removed some of the high resol. add-ons from the respective presets folder and everything returned to normal.
