Blinking cursor Post #1 | | Guest |  Blinking cursor
I've got a situation where my cursor will blink on and off when I am trying to use the clone stamp tool.
When it happened this time I had selected the Elliptical Marquee tool and created a circle on an object. I then chose the clone stamp tool and proceeded to clone inside the circle. I was just using the circle as a guide for the area I wanted to clone. When I did this I noticed that the clone tool cursor would blink on and off it will also keep on blinking as I move the cursor outside of the circle for a small distance and then if I keep on moving away from the circle it will eventually stop blinking. [confused]
Is there some kind of an adjustment that I can make to prevent this from happening.
Thanks

Tried to do this in PS CS, but I didn't notice anything of what you described. It could be video driver related I guess.

I have a fairly good video card, NVDA,GeForce4Ti 4600 128vmram so I'm hoping it's not that.

Video drivers are still the major cause of the graphics related problems on Windows computers.

Is it happening only in a mid tone section?
If so it is probably the "Smart Cursor" jumping about trying to figure if it should be a dark cursor on light or a light cursor on dark.
HTH, Al.

HTH, Al. | No Al it happens anywhere inside the circle I selected with the Marquee Tool regardless of colour or tone.

OK, I'm on a Mac too. Post your OS and PS version details.
If you could grab a shot of the Brush Options and pop that up as well.
Are you using standard brushes?
If you are using PS 7 do you have the 7.0.1 updates.
Al.

PS 7.0, I don't have the update yet didn't know about it but thanks I will get it.
I'm not sure what you are looking for with the brush options, I am using a Hard Round brush. I've tried different types of brushes but it still does it.

Don't you have OSX on that machine? PS 7 will run on it.
I have a DP 867 dual boot but I hardly ever run 922.
Part of the PS 701 update is X specific, shortcut keys I think.
It is still worthwhile installing the other components. Check with the documentation first.
I asked about the Brush options just to set my machine up as yours and see if I can replicate the problem.
Al.
