Jacks Tech Corner

Sometimes when I go into Full edit, I automatically get the hand tool. No matter5 what other tool I click on, the hand tool remains. How do I disable the hand tool so I can use the other tools as I normally do?

An answer would sincerely be appreciated. Joe

Hi Joe,

I've had that problem too and to get around it, I go to the upper left corner of Full Edit, just under the little camera icon.

There you'll see a tiny downward facing arrowhead. Click the arrowhead and you'll get two options: Reset Tool and Reset All Tools.

I usually choose the latter and I'm back in business. I hope this helps.

If resetting the Tools from the Editor in my previous post does not work, try the following:


Quit the Editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift.

Keep holding the keys till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file.

Click Yes to that.

(PSE will automatically rebuild the settings file as it continues to open and normal Tool control should be restored.)
