    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.

    Thanks for any input,
    Greg
