Using CS4. I have had this problem before. I copy/paste masks or do other tasks and then when I go to paint or do anything else, all I have is the hand icon to move the image around. I read somewhere else to push ctrl+alt+shift which actually worked once for me but doesn't anymore. When I shut down photoshop and start it back up, I am still stuck with only a hand icon. Then if I go to internet for a while and come back, sometimes the hand is gone and I can do other stuff again.
Please help!!
