P: Can't see brush circle when I go into Select and Mask

Same problem for me. In select and mask -> refine edge/brush tool only my regular windows cursor shows instead of the normal brush circle. This has started since I updated the beta app a couple of weeks ago. Problem only in beta. Very annoying.

I was going to say that the brushes do still work, although it is difficult to see what you are doing in S&M.  Content Aware Fill has the same problem, but it is much easier to see what is happening in that function, plus we can see the brush size in the Options Bar

However, after further experimenting, I was not able to see what effect the brush had in S&M.  With Onion Skin selected, and Transparency set to 100%, the preview thumbnail appears to be working, but the main window is giving me zero feedback AFAICT.

I'd say that Onion Skin gives you the least feedback on what is happening, so it is worth checking thew other view options.  With this flyaway hair example, I was able to work almost like normal, for instance.

I have become addicted to the beta version features, and want to keep using it, so I am going to stick with it as much as I can.  It only takes a moment to switch to 24.6 with the crazy fast NVMe drives we have nowadays (Photoshop takes six seconds to open for me, and I have a lot of presets and third party plugins).  So I really don't see the need to install earlier versions.

I think it's quite obvious that installing an older version of the software is not a solution but a workaround that allows you to continue to work while the issue is fixed my friend. 😃 

These 2023 releases are so bugged and slow (both Beta and Release). I rolled back to the previous version and now I get a popup forcing me to update. I can't even choose which version to use. This is so annoying

You can get rid of this problem and go back to work by reinstalling the previous version (24.6.0), but then you get an annoying little un-closeable pop up window telling you to update. 🤣

Ah man. I uninstalled beta to try to install the previous version like everyone else, but I don't even see photoshop beta in creative cloud anymore. Where can I download beta? 😞

Cory, just to let you know that the cursor is also missing in Content Aware Fill, but still works.
