I also think it would be nice if the message overlay was not a box, but just an unobtrusive piece of text, maybe with a 1 pixel outline, like so :Īnd it would be nice if there was an keyboard shortcut for the Mega Crosshair itself.Īlso, the use of the graphic is sometimes a bit confusing. Therefore I would suggest something like the following : What I mean by that is that even tho I know exactly what the 3 settings are effectively doing, I keep getting thrown off by the cycling order and by "OFF" being in caps for "off while drawing" setting. I would suggest a re-ordering, and also a simplification of the messages. At the moment, the app cursor cycling overlay messages are as follows, and in the following order : (I am actually not saying that it should be triggered by that shortcut just pointing out that at the moment it kind of feels like it is.)Īlso, a very small observation. On a related note, I feel like all these settings and conditions are becoming little bit convoluted when it comes to switching options on and off (and of course, the above question/feature request can only make things worse in that regard ) But still, in its current state, the "app cursor(ctrl-F6)" menu entry is a bit confusing since ctrl-F6 effectively cycles between the different cursor types, but the Mega Crosshair, which sits inside that same menu, is not affected by the ctrl-F6 shortcut. This might be complicated to implement and confusing for the user tho. I suppose that what I am suggesting here is the ability to tie the display of the app cursor and the Mega Cursor to specific Photoshop tools, as opposed to (or in addition of) these options being global settings.
Is there a way to somehow tie such display preferences to specific tools ? Like this : My scenario is as follows : I like to use the Mega Crosshair, without any app cursor, for fine mark making tools (like a small pencil brush) however when working on such lineart sketches, I like my eraser brush to be a wide smooth brush with a regular circle brush preview, possibly without the Crosshair. Is there a way to somehow tie this tool detection to the mega crosshair toggle and the app cursor cycling ?
I also notice that there is an override system going on - for instance, it says "Tool : eraser tool (bypassed)" when using the eraser. Hey there Kamih - I just noticed that LNP is able to detect which tool is currently being used in PS, as shown by the status line at the bottom.
