P: Make the brush cursor easier to see (too thin, not enough contrast with some colors)

Is anything else still in the works? Using a 4K screen, the cursors are still very hard to see at times. There is now a Brush Tip Outline setting but what we really need is a cursor scale option. Additionally, a negative cursor option like the Windows Inverted cursor scheme would help make the cursor much more visible. 

Let's take a look at SAI2 and CSP. They have the ability to display both the cursor and the brush size circle simultaneously. This can help locate the cursor when the brush size circle is very small. However, they are not perfect either. The cursor size cannot be changed within the software; it follows the system's DPI scale (the same as Photoshop), so it can appear small on a 4K monitor. Additionally, they cannot adjust the Brush Tip Outline thickness like in Photoshop. I don't like CSP's cursor because it is positioned at the top-right of the center, instead of the bottom-right.

I would like to point out that their brush size circles have dynamic colors, which appear to be complementary colors. Photoshop's brush size circle is black and white.

The cursor is still hard to see when brush size is very small.

Can you see the cursor in the image below? I barely can. The cursors in PS are far too small for me to see. 
I had to take a photo since a screen capture using print screen doesn't show the cursor. 
Yes I am aware you can press CTRL to show the cursor. 
Yes I have made the cursors as visible as possible in the cursor options menu.
Yes it is possible to lower the monitor resolution to make the PS inferace larger but PS is the only app where this is a problem for me. 
Yes I am aware that YOU can see the cursors just fine on your screen and don't think there is a problem.
For people like me with poor eyesight, specifically the tool cursors in PS are TINY!
It would be nice to have an accessiblity option to simply make the cursors larger in general.
Or even better have them act like the Windows inverted cursor scheme that makes them easier to see.

If you budget for new hardware, you need to factor in the cost of upgrading software as well. Its just how modern computing works.

Our friend above seems to think I prefer to remain with the CS6 version 13.0 and live with the problem, but doesn't realise that not all of us can afford to pay the extra for updating PS to the latest version.

@wake.forest.ltd@gmail.com , it matters neither what I realize nor why you use Photoshop CS6 – it is obsolete and Adobe has, with good reason, not been updating it for years now and expecting future updates for it is unjustified. 

@wake.forest.ltd@gmail.com , well after CS6 shipped, display hardware improved and higher pixel densities became a lot more common. If you go back to the hardware and software from the CS6 timeframe, you would not run into this issue because lower pixel density hardware would keep the line thicker on screen.

If you upgrade your hardware, quite often only the latest software includes accommodations for the impact of those upgrades. This is the case for brushing. I suppose you could lower the pixel density of the screen to mimic the older constraints, and the brush tip would likely pop a little better.

Thank you Jane,

Very kind of you to reply so promptly.

As I mentioned, I've had Photoshop since I was in university in the UK and updated the program every time there was one. Still, I've had this problem since new and was hoping an update would sort out this annoying issue, but seems not...

Anyway, I include a short video and an image showing my CS6 version. In my case at least, the cursor disappearing is a fact and it is almost impossible to work with it, specially when I'm working with composites.

Best regards to all,

The brush issue in this thread began with Photoshop 2017 and was not in CS6. You may have a different issue. Please describe your problem and share screenshots.
