I have Photo shop Elements 2. yesterday everything worked fine, today when I bring up Elements the pencil and eraser pointer are set at precise and cannot be changed under preferences. no matter what you change the setting to it will not change the pointer. I like to see how big the eraser and pencil are. Any help? I tried the ctrl,shift,alt reset, no luck.

Paul,

Sounds like you have the caps lock key locked on your keyboard, try turning it off and it should go back to normal.

You said Preferences, did you really mean to say the Option Bar?

And are you sure you really got the Preference folder deleted using the keyboard shortcut?

I don’t use the Pencil tool much, but it could be one of those tools that functions differently when the Caps Lock is on. You might check that if you haven’t already.

Hmmm. Seems my last guess was the correct one, maybe? 🙂 You type faster than me Barb!

Hi Beth, lets hope that’s the fix. My typing skills are improving…I used to be really slow. 😉
