  problems with brush tools not changing cursor – in the layer window

  Posted by Greg Neumayer on March 28, 2013 at 5:21 pm

  I’m having problems getting the paint brush tool to work in the layer window. Sometimes the cursor just won’t change to a brush, no matter what I do. I’m wondering if it’s a rather un-graceful failure due to running out of memory? I’ve tried restarting apps, but the results are inconclusive and seemingly indiscriminate.

  Anyone else experience this?

  Attempting to use multiprocessing? While I work? I’m not familiar with being able to do so, but if it’s relevant, “Allow Idle Rendering” has been switched off.

  Original Graphics card. No 3rd party’s.

  No ray tracing.

  Riser A: 1GB, 1GB, 2GB, 2GB

  Thanks for any input,
