Photoshop Stuck on Hand Tool
A few minutes ago I opened Photoshop for working a little, but instead of having the tool I needed I’ve got stucked on hand tool. I am using CS3 and this is actually the second time (if I remember exactly) when I have been getting stucked on hand tool. No matter which of Photoshop tools I had been choosing, I’d got only the hand tool.
No Horizontal Type Tool, no Rectangular Marque Tool not even Move Tool. Whatever tool I tried to use it has only let me use the hand tool. It shows that the wanted tool is highlighted, but when over the window the icon shows as the hand tool and behaves as the hand tool, too.
The solution to get rid of this problem is very simple: close and open up again Photoshop, go to Edit, Preferences and click on Reset all Warnings Dialog (CTRL+K in Windows to get straight to the Preferences window).
It should work now :)
I have been googling it to see what the people are saying, but the people are starting to going crazy in all that kind of bull crap suppositions… may be the RAM, the hard drive have a hard time (bad sectors, etc) , the spacebar is sticking on keyboard and some of them even recommended to reinstall Photoshop or even crazy to run the antivirus.

Although I haven’t had this problem, I evernoted this in case i do. As my CS2 gets hung up constantly on whatever “previous tool” I’m using when switching to my custom brushes. I guess nothing amazing can come without having a few glitches once in awhile. Thx for the fix.
Thank you so much.. I just had the exact same problem and it fixed it perfectly..
Thanks bunches..

dude, that same thing happened to me once with photoshop CS4 when I bought it… but it just fixed itself after a while,
I didn’t even have to restart PS, so yeah I think its maybe a memory thing…
