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

In last updates I'm having problem seeing brush (paint and healing) cursor when working with colors similar to cursor grey (grey or brown midtones for expamle).

Sometimes cursor changes to white, but for very short time and very randomly.

So it's really hard to see where I'm just gonna paint or heal. It is really annoying and tiring.

I fixed the problem by using an old version of Photoshop. Maybe the problem will be fixed with the 2030 version.

I still can't see the brush cursor in mid-range tones with legacy brushes. Photoshop is still broken.

Any news about improvements? When will that be fixed? With Photoshop 2030 maybe?

Don't screen record it. Use the camera of your smartphone or tablet to illustrate the horrible photoshop flaw.

I am working a lot on skin retouching since I work for a women's clothing company. This cursor issue is very frustrating, guessing where the cursor is. Update upon update I hope for a fix, but all I get is... cricket chirps.

How does the mouse cursor shake work with a Wacom pen?

I tried to shake my Wacom pen and nothing happens. Listening is one thing, acting is another. Update upon update, nothing is done about this issue. I wish there were an alternative to Photoshop. Did Adobe get rid of all its competent programmers? [removed]

There shouldn't be any reason not to fix this, this cursor does not act like this in Capture One, and they are the same thickness. Adjustable thickness, changing the color, anything to make this work would be better than nothing! Whatever needs to be done to make this not disappear is clearlry doable. I don't use any other retouching programs besides photoshop and capture one so I don't know how this type of cursor acts in other programs, but clearly it is something that can be fixed.
