P: How do I see just the Brush Tip Preview?

The brush preview in PS 2018 has changed so now it shows a dragged preview of the brush. I have many a custom brush that are meant to be singularly clicked, not dragged, like stencils. I cannot see which brushes are which anymore, because of this new preview and cannot find a way to change it back.

PLEASE FIX THIS WITH AN UPDATE ADOBE, IT WAS FINE THE WAY IT WAS.
As you can see, there is NO WAY for me to tell which brush I am using.

The only work around is to go into the detailed brush settings but this is hassle for me when I need to quickly choose a brush.

Hi Ed,

You're in the brushes panel and the preview size slider is dragged to the largest size, correct? I went on a 27" iMac to try and replicate what you're seeing but the brush previews seemed large. Would you mind attaching a screenshot so I can be sure we're both looking at the same thing?

Thanks,
Hannah

Despite using the slider, the preview is still rather small, smaller than it used to be. I have a 27 inch iMac, and it's still smaller than it should be. Haven't been able to figure out how to make it larger than it is. (I have used the slider, it doesn't help much!)

You can change the icon size by using the slider at the bottom of the dialog box. The best part about this update is you can create your own folders.

I've made the changes to view the brushes as suggested. However, the brush preview is still pretty damn small even though I use the slider to make the preview larger.. I have 27 inch Mac and they're still hard to see. Is there any way to make the preview larger as it was before. I really dislike the way brushes are displayed now. It sucks big time.....worse than big time.

Please, any suggestions would help.
