How to change the eraser TOOL from CIRCLE to PLUS design !!!!!

Hi friends,

I having been using photoshop for almost 6 months now. However last week when I was using the eraser tool, by mistake something key was pressed by me and the eraser tool changed from a circle to a plus + sign automatically. The whole week I was having problems using the eraser tool with the plus sign. Luckily I figured out the way today and was so happy and also disappointed in myself for finding this silly short cut key after a long time.

You just need to press Caps Lock key once to change the eraser tool from plus sign back to the circle sign

Hope it will help to the ones who does not own it yet

 

thanks...I've been using it for 9 years...and always got stumped at this issues.

 

you can also press ctrl z - that works as well.

 

Wow! I never knew that

This is going to be useful if you want to erase something accuratly

Are there any other hidden tricks?

 

I love using photo shop because I love editing photos. It's fun..
