No. OK back I go and have another look. Done that, but I have difficulty understanding the reasoning behind the choice of levels for each of the colours. Is that covered in the levels classes?

I downloaded the PSD but could not see on the first levels layer what changes you had made apart from the brushing on the mask. I must be missing something.

Hi Damien, are you still a member of Australian photography? If so can you check a thread in colour management called colour management in Photoshop and tell me why they are doing what they are doing. It does not seem right according to what you have always recommended.

Changing the curser back to Normal instead of standard or precision seems to have fixed it. All seems to be normal for the other tools.

Yes that seems to make no difference at all. Nothing has changed. I also have CS6 and that works normally. And so did CC once. I have uninstalled CC and then reinstalled, restarted the computer, reset the workspace, checked all of the preferences, now I have just reset the cursor to normal brush tip and I think it is now working again. I had it on standard and then precise before.

I regularly restart the computer and the cleanup is done weekly. Not a screen shot and not the image I was working on, but maybe you can see the brush on the grey background to the left of the image.

I have a PC desktop running Windows 10 and Photoshop cc 2016. It is over 2 years old, and has 16GB of RAM. Its hard drive has 608GB free out of 932GB. The last time I shut down was just before posting this thread. I run a cleanup program about once a week.

Going to restart the computer, cannot even get print screen to work.

And if I try and do a print screen the brush image turns to a black triangle and a square

That changed the appearance but not the behaviours of the brush. I have a black mask. I want to paint white on it to reveal what is underneath. I cannot because the brush is not behaviing. Now I have a nice cross instead of the brush, but it will not increase or decrease in size with the brackets and will not paint white where I want it to.

Cannot give you a screen shot Damien as I am currently reinstalling CC. However when I select the brush tool I get the image of a brush,not a circle which I usually get and although the size of this brush stays the same it will brush larger or smaller, but colour. I want to hide/reveal on a mask and it will not do so. All images

I have done a quick search but could not find and answer to my question. It is probably something very simple but I have not come across it before. Why is my brush now a paint brush instead of the hide/reveal brush. How do I get it back to normal? PHotoshop CC.

Thank you Brian, you may have missed that I am in Australia. The Dell U2414H is $A389. Maybe that is what I should get, or perhaps this http://accessories.ap.dell.com/sna/productdetail.aspx?c=au&cs=audhs1&l=en&sku=230-12093 Quite a few of the Asus monitors in the 23-24" range that are in the damiensymonds.net/art monitor article seem to be unavailable here.

If I was game enough I would do this. http://www.danantonielli.com/adobe-app-scaling-on-high-dpi-displays-fix/

Something less than about A$500 would be good. The BenQ was A$399, definitely still available here. It had 100% sRGB which was one attraction,also display port,fully adjustable stand. They must have not been able to sell many of them then as it appears to have only been introduced in October 2014. Will the same problems of appearance occur with the 27" screens in their native resolution then or does the larger realestate of the screen compensate for that? Seem like I might have to go somewhere where they have a few on display so that I can see how they look, with text etc.

I cannot see that this question has already been asked, excuse me if it has. My current monitor is a Dell U2311H, with a screen resolution of 1920 x1080. It seems to be beginning to have problems with the corners of the screen going darker and darker, so I have started to look for a replacement. One of the screens offered is a BenQ BL 2420 PT, 24" screen, which is in my price range, but it has a screen resolution of 2560 x1440, which my VGA will support via Display port. However I only have Photoshop version CS6, and I seem to be reading about problems with not being able to scale this version so that the text and icons will be too small to view. The ppi of the screen is about 123 ppi whereas my current screen is 92. Will I have problems, should I look only at the 1920x1080 or 1200 screens?
