If you’re a Photoshop user, you may have noticed that your cursor changes to a crosshair when you’re using the brush tool. This can be annoying, especially if you’re trying to select something small. Here’s how to change your cursor back to normal in Photoshop:

PRO TIP: If you are using Photoshop and your cursor changes to a crosshair or other strange icon, do not panic! This is usually just a sign that you have accidentally enabled one of Photoshop’s “draw” modes. To fix this, simply go to the “Edit” menu at the top of the screen and select “Drawing Modes.” Then, select the “Normal” option from the menu that appears. This should change your cursor back to normal.
  1. Open Photoshop and go to the Preferences menu.
  2. Click on Cursors and uncheck the “Show Crosshair in Brush Tip” option.
  3. Click OK and your cursor will now return to normal.

That’s all there is to it! Now you can get back to work without having to worry about your cursor getting in the way.
