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

It's been reported to Adobe for at least three years now, and they absolutely refuse to do anything about it, concentrating instead on loads of 'cool new features'. Frankly, if you can't fix the core features that the majority of your customers use on a daily basis, you've failed. I'm not sure why Adobe hasn't addressed it, fixed it or even responded to its customers about this issue, but they've remained stubbornly silent. It's a core issue that affects several of the main tools in the app, and it only gets worse with higher res monitors. Frankly, I think this is an issue of engineers not being required to 'eat their own dog food', as we say in tech. They should be required to do basic, core functions on a daily basis, just like their customers. Obviously, that isn't happening, otherwise they'd be as frustrated as we are and they'd fix the problem. 

no other application in Win10 has anywhere near the alt-key issues that Ps does. The worst part is that when I've asked about it, they say it's working as intended =(

I use the brush more often than any other tool in Photoshop, and it's almost unusable these days. As others have said, the 1x1 pixel outline is insanely thin for high res displays, and most of the time (not some of the time), I can't even see the cursor because there's just no contrast with the underlying colors/values. I have to be *extremely* precise in my work, and this issue causes many more hours per project and huge amounts of frustration. Frankly, I'd rather the PS engineers concentrate on fixing something like this instead of throwing more and more features into the app. FIX the core critical issues. I just don't see why the cursor outline can't automatically be the reverse of the underlying color. PLEASE fix it - it's now been years with this issue causing problems for everyone. Do the engineers have to 'eat their own dogfood' and actually *use* PS themselves?

I thought I was the only one who was having problems seeing the cursor now.  Misery loves company I guess.  Now please Adobe, address the issue!!  Let us make the circle darker at least!  Something, anything!!

It is a serious problem. I lose the cursor constantly. Infuriating and really slows me down.

I have an identical problem. I want to the cursor a color so I can see it when working. Why can't it be a color, instead of disapperaring into the object?

Can not see the cursor. Why was it made so thin and light in Photoshop 2021. Make the cursor heavier so we can see it when working as a pro all day. There should be a size and color option for the brush, etc. cursor.

I should think the solution would be that the cursor automatically changes to the complement of whatever color it passes over.

Yes, it's been a problem for a looong time.  They can't or won't fix it.  I was invited to send screen shots and video captures which I did; the damn thing disappears all the time, I have constantly to use the command key to turn it into a flag to find it.
