Photoshop 19; drawing with the pencil tool or eraser tool the cursor has a ring of dots around it making it hard to see the line.

Can this ring of dots be removed in settings?

  • Can you please include a screenshot?

  • The "ring of dots" is Adobe's wait cursor. It's telling you to wait.

Toggle between standard and precise cursor with the Caps Lock key

Tools that have precise cursor capabilities include:

  • Eyedropper

  • Healing brushes

  • Patch Tool

  • Red Eye Brushes

  • Rubber Stamp Dodge

  • Burn and Sponge

If you need to change the cursors from the Preferences:

  • Click Photoshop CC on the menu bar and select Preferences.
  • Click on Cursors in the drop-down menu to open a preferences screen.
  • Select Cursors in the left panel of the preferences screen.
  • Select Precise in the Painting Cursors section and Precise in the Other Cursors section.

Wouldn't believe how much trouble I had getting that image :)

  • I know what you're going through, sometimes when I try to force my applications to lag/crash and they don't seem to want to... Only when it hurts me the most.

  • I Just meant that it's a cursor so a screenshot won't capture it... had to actually make a movie to get it.. but yeah when you want to wait.. it seems you don't have to :)
