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

And what happens to all of us who have the Photoshop CS6 version we paid a few years ago? I cannot afford to pay the monthly sum Adobe is asking me for the Photoshop Beta version! Does that mean that I will have to live with the brush cursor problem for ever? That can't be right.

If you decide not to upgrade Photoshop after CS6 you have to work with that version and should not expect Adobe to waste resources on updating obsolete program versions. 

And it is up to you to maintain your computer in such a state that Photoshop CS6 can continue running on it – meaning you should take care to be able to roll back any future OS, hardware, driver … updates/upgrades in case they break the setup.

I agree with Panorama Function. Ultimately the fix must come from Adobe's magical programmers who could easily fix the issue.

Why not just fix the faint cursor instead of all these work-arounds being suggested. Give the user a choice of colours and outline heaviness. It should be easy even for Adobe programmers.

Im having an issue where the cursor keeps changing color which is odd as it feels like its trying to make itself less visible depending on the background. So if its on a lighter background it will turn gray (making it almost impossible to see) and if its on a darker background it will actually turn white.  Anyone know how to fix this issue? 

@Shaun5C3A did you try the Extra Bold setting for Brush Tip Outline ?

Look in Edit(Pc)/Photoshop(Mac)>Preferences>Tools?

This update was such a delightful gift, but ironically, there is a bug in which the brush cursor changes to a mouse arrow after this update.

I think it has something to do with the addition of this feature... So I went back to 24.0. I was happy to receive the gift, but I am sad that I cannot use it.

nope. not helpful twice. I'm painting, but can't see the brush against mid to light colours. Adding layers of colour or decreasing the opacity? - I said, I'm painting!

For many , this will be the best thing since sliced (ginger) bread, @Chad Rolfs and @Dramenon !

I almost cried when I saw this. I've been using it a lot over the last couple of days, and it's great so far. Thanks for the heads up!
