In Photoshop, sometimes such a bug (glitch) can occur: the user cannot select any tool in the Tools panel. Instead of a tool in Photoshop, the Hand Tool appears everywhere. For example, you select the Brush tool and the Hand appears instead of the cursor. What should be done to remove the "hand" in Photoshop?
Instructions
Step 1
If you are faced with this annoying problem, do not rush to restart your computer or reinstall Photoshop. All you need is to press the "space" key 1-2 times hard enough, and the "Hand" instead of a tool in Photoshop will stop bothering you.
Step 2
Perhaps the problem of the appearance of a "hand" instead of a tool in Photoshop is related to the lagging or sticking of the spacebar on the keyboard, which often happens with old keyboards.
Step 3
Most likely, the method with a space will help you fix the problem with the "hand" in Photoshop. this is the most effective way. If not, try other options to choose from:
Edit-> Preferences-> Display & Cursors …
Edit> Preferences> Reset all warning dialogs.
Editing-Settings-Display and Cursors.
"Edit" -> "Define Brush".
Step 4
And two more ways to remove the "hand" in Photoshop.
1. Start Photoshop, when opening it press Shift + Ctrl + Alt, and in the window that appears, agree to reset the settings.
2. Or, in the View-Proof Setup settings, check the Custom box.
