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.

Posted on Twitter... Maybe indeed if everybody does that we can get somewhere...

Looks like it.  Another year without a fix.

After many many months, I'm almost certain that Adobe don't read this at all. How about posting on here instead:

https://twitter.com/Adobe

https://www.facebook.com/Adobe

If lots of the comments appear on there, perhaps they would be more likely to do something?

The cursor has been uselessly invisible for years now.  I have to touch the command key constantly to find it (Mac keyboard).

So Adobe... Any news on this? Another month without a fix?

Going to send Adobe my ophthalmologist bill for the eyestrain they are unnecessarily causing!

Maybe we should just keep posting and maintaining this thread on top until Adobe decides to either fix it or let us know it's not going to be fixed...

It's so incredibly annoying and makes it nearly impossible to work with b&w help layers. But even without it's an imposition to work like this. Does Adobe take note of this issue at all??!

Photoshop:  All brush and tool outlines are hard to see on high resolution monitors.  Allow the user to change the color and width or make it bold or extra bold.  The brush, clone stamp tool, spot healing brush, etc. are all way too thin.  Limiting the color to gray, white, and black is a very poor color choice that does not offer enough contrast and is not visible especially on midtone colors.  This feature has been requested a long time ago by lots of users.  We are paying you premium subscription prices to use software with problems that should have been fixed long ago!

I have complained to Adobe several times over the past two years about this. They don’t seem to understand that the cursor is invisible most of the time.

perhaps going back is the best solution.
