Innocent Explanation #2

Today's Question:

When I use the brush tool in Photoshop most of the time it comes out with a circle. And then suddenly it turns into a crosshair, which is very annoying. Why?

Tim’s Answer:

If the image is sized such that there are currently 100 pixels of the image currently visible, and your brush is set to a diameter of 300 pixels, then the circle of that brush will be too large to display within the image area. In that case, the brush will be shown as a crosshair rather than a circle.

In case you thought they were surveyor’s marks…

I think she probably meant "surveyor's" libel, too.
