Im not sure what happened but my brush no matter what size it is set to in ps all I see is the cross hairs I like to be able to see the full size of the brush when I paint so I know how big of a brush to us in certain spots. Can someone tell me how to get it back to normal. I tried using the presences but could not figure it out it says that it is on normal for the brush but is just giving me the cross hair. I hope I am clear in what Im trying to say and hope someone can help.

Caps Lock on?

Try pressing CapsLock
EDIT: A second to late to reply first

caps lock!

yup it was thanks I never knew that would do that to my brush thanks guys.

just in case you might've missed the previous posts, try Caps Lock.

You should definitely try CAPS LOCK.

Did we mention CAPS LOCk?

I have a question relating to this problem.

Do you have to have caps lock OFF or ON, to make those little cross hairs?

yeah i hope you know it's the caps lock......dont feel bad i had mine stuck for two days before i figured it out. but if you know me that should not be a big suprise. ....ohhh and shift will draw a straight line and a perfect circle. Anna the cross hairs are turned on in preferences

LOL CAPS LOCK!!! You guys are funny!

Look for a glowing green light....Then mash every button til it no longer is glowing....(THAT's OFF).
If that fails i like to submerge my computer in a nice warm bubbley(MR.BUBBLES) bath of water WITH the system ON. Dont worry about the big tangle of cords.....just dunk the whole thing. The tangles will come out with conditioner.
OOOOHHHH and (save for the web) while submerged will give you a nice water ripple effect. The texture is almost too good. Now some will say it's a filter....but we will know better.

Chopping with a high power scope will give better crosshairs, hard to set the aspect ratio, but well worth the effort. Dont pull the trigger to save.....it sorta gives a bullet hole effect to the whole thing......plus it overlays a serious black layer above the previous layers that Can NOT be moved or deleted.

Dont want to be a smart ass but have you tried turning caps lock off?

My first time was a few hours of utter frustration.
A few days later I forgot, and went through the same thing all over again.
It still happens sometimes, and I still keep forgetting...just not as long. It comes to me now just about when I am ready to give up.
like some cosmic joke or something.
While we're confessing...I've learned everything there is to know about the pen tool...
about twenty times over now. It takes a few days, but every time
the whole process completely vanishes from my mind, and I have to start over from scratch.

remember..caps...lock.
