Sometimes when working in Photoshop CS (happened in 7, too) my brush changes from being 'brush size' (indicated by a circle on the image) to being 'precise' (indicated by crosshairs) even though my preferences are set to 'brush size'. I'm not zoomed in too far to see the edges of the circle. Can anyone tell me why this happens and what to do to make it always stay as brush size? Is there a key stroke to toggle between the two choices that I may be hitting accidentally? Thanks, Lea Lea Murphy Whiny Dog Press www.whinydogpress.com
