58 CHAPTER 1 Looking at the Work Area To view or move a hidden tools list (ImageReady): 1 Position the pointer on the visible tool and hold down the mouse button until the hidden tools list appears. 2 Select the small downward-pointing triangle at the bottom of the hidden tools list. A hidden tools list appears and remains open until you click the close box. You can view more than one hidden tools list simultaneously. 3 Drag the hidden tools list by its title bar to move it anywhere on your desktop. To display or hide tool tips: 1 Choose Edit > Preferences > General, then select or deselect Show Tool Tips. Show Tool Tips is the default. To enable or disable cycling through a set of hidden tools: Choose Edit > Preferences > General, then select or deselect Use Shift Key for Tool Switch. Using the tool pointers When you select most tools, the mouse pointer matches the tool's icon. The marquee pointer appears by default as cross-hairs, the text tool pointer as an I-beam, and painting tools default to the Brush Size icon. Each default pointer has a different hot spot, where an effect or action in the image begins. With all tools except the move tool, annotation tools, and the type tool, you can switch to precise cursors, which appear as cross-hairs centered around the hot spot. To set the tool pointer appearance: 1 Do one of the following: • (Photoshop) Choose Edit > Preferences > Display & Cursors. • (ImageReady) Choose Edit > Preferences > Cursors. 2 Choose a tool pointer setting: • Click Standard under Painting Cursors, Other Cursors, or both to display pointers as tool icons. • Click Precise under Painting Cursors, Other Cursors, or both to display pointers as cross-hairs. • Click Brush Size under Painting Cursors to display the painting tool cursors as brush shapes representing the size of the current brush. Brush Size cursors may not display for very large brushes. 3 Click OK. The Painting Cursors options control the pointers for the following tools: • (Photoshop) Eraser, pencil, airbrush, paintbrush, rubber stamp, pattern stamp, smudge, blur, sharpen, dodge, burn, and sponge tools. • (ImageReady) Paintbrush, pencil, and eraser tools.
