The reason why is that while you may like all these spiffy new shortcut keys, when you are watching a tutorial again and someone mentions a shortcut key you'll have to 'convert' in your mind on the fly the revised keys you changed.

I'd like to point out that while I am a huge fan of customizing things in your workflow to enhance and speed up things, I do not recommend changing a lot of the default keyboard shortcuts for many folks. Try a color that's more pleasing to your eye and isn't a common color in your images so that there's still enough contrast off the image to see the brush preview. While we are in there, the brush preview color is something else that can be changed when resizing a brush you see the red preview of the brush. The setting for these precision cursors is in the middle, shown here:

We change these settings in the preferences. But I suggest you try this, I really do think you will find it to make more sense. As I mentioned before, this could be preference, and many (I would dare to say 'most') people are so used to the default cursor that it may not bother them. When you compare that to the default cursors, I don't feel the default cursor is the best design.Ī crosshair seems much more logical to me. I really prefer the precise cursors, as when working very fast there's no question on the precise pixel you are clicking as it's in the form of a precision crosshair.

We can figure out which tip is the right tip, however there's a better option: precise cursors. The cursor has two potential 'tips' that could be the precise point of where you are clicking: the tip of the arrow and the tip of the actual paint coming out of the bucket. I find that to be not the most ideal, especially once you are used to the alternative. For example, the paint bucket tool is literally a cursor that's a picture of a paint bucket with a little arrow attached. They do not seem to be geared toward precision.

If you alter the position of the image in the frames then you will have to edit the act files using actOR.Įdit: here are some premade custom cursors If you want to make a new cursor sprite then just edit all the frames and merge it back. That's the easiest way to recolor all sprites. If you used anything besides replace color or use pencil tool to edit certain pixels then you will have to do that for all frames. Open SPR Conview and using convert Bmp to Spr select all the Bmp frames along with the first recolored and all the other frames will auto convert to the palette of the first frame. Open the first frame.BMP in photoshop and use replace color tool to change the color palette of the cursor and save. Open the Cursor.spr using conview and select convert Spr to Bmp to extract all the frames to a desired folder.
