Adobe Photoshop Brushes Dissapear

Have you been using photoshop and the brushes tool just stops showing the size and only the cross-hairs?  You know you did not go into the preferences and change it to show cross hairs. You have restarted photoshop and its still not the right tool setting. Don’t panic,  Its a simple fix. You have the CAPS Locks button on. So no need to check the preferences nor to restart the computer. Just click it off and resume work.

If that did not solve your problem then here is another fix. If your brush is just not showing up completely then you can try this. Go into the control panel and under Display > select Settings > then click on the Advanced button > and then go into the troubleshooting folder.Adjust your  slider under “Hardware Acceleration” one or two notches to the left. Then your brushes display should work normally. Hopefully you will not notice much, if any decrease in performance.

I hope one of these solutions works for you.

Finder Empty Trash Preference

Have you been emptying your trash on your friendly Macintosh and it seem to take a friggin’ eternity to empty especially if you are deleting a lot of stuff. It took me a while to find it but I knew there was a setting somewhere for secure delete. I finally found it. It was in the Finder preferences. Click on the advanced tab and change the setting. If its checked then un-check and problem solved! The solution to this problem was so easy that I forgot about it at first, so I hope this post is helpful to those of you who are in need of this deceptively simple fix to the slow trash emptying problem.
