Cursor color

You can’t.
Press the space bar to locate your tool when you lost it, it will change into a white hand icon.

When retouching old BW photographs there is impossible to see well the cursor (i.e. the stamp tool) – both cursor and the background are of the same color (grey) and density. How to change the cursor to another color? Thanx in advance.

If I have seen farther it is because I have stood on the shoulder of giants.

I have this issue too, my photographer shoots most all the studio shots on studio gray, so even in color I frequently can’t see my cursor. Since he’s been using digital and my new scanner removes a lot of dust on the slides in the software I have a lot less spotting than I used to . Seems Adobe should have thought of being able to have a different color cursor for BW photos as you can customize almost any other tool (grid colors, guides etc). I was hoping to see this feature in CS or CS2. Someone told me a workaround using channels? or some such thing but I can’t remember.

CS2 is much better. In the case of coloured images, the colour of the cursor varies according to the background. If the cursor is large, for example a large stamp cursor, the colour varies round the circumference. In the case of B&W, it remains grey, but darkens on a light background, and vice versa. (Why not use colour in the case of B&W? Oh well, much better than it was).

At last! I’ve been struggling using the "space bar" work-around for years.

Are you on a Mac or a PC?

On the Mac, this is easy to do. On the PC, you can’t, because of a limitation in the Windows operating environment.
