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

@yves_crausaz You really want to tell us that it's really no big deal to have to press CapsLock hundreds and hundreds of times on something that was working perfectly before? Apparently it's not us that are more loyalist than the king. 

Ne soyez pas plus royalistes que le roi.... Simplement configurez correctement la représentation de la forme du curseur et utilisez la touche CapsLock pour passer du curseur en X au curseur à la forme du pinceau et vice-versa, ce n'est tout de même pas très compliqué

Is going back to PS 2017 going to be the only way out?

Adobe, will we ever get a fix for this or at least an acknowledgment from Adobe or one of the technical people here? This is one of the most annoying things for us who work day in and day out with Photoshop, and Adobe simply ignores us for more than a year?

Same here, difficult to see the brush.  Seems like a basic function.

I have used Photoshop for nearly 10 years, and although I was dissatisfied, I understood and respected Adobe. But I leave feedback for the first time. It's the most important feedback for the user, so Please pay attention this happen.

If you look at the picture I uploaded, you can see that the brightness of the cursor changes to white and black as the cursor moves.

The picture I uploaded was captured on the FULL HD monitor, but I can't see the cursor very well. You can't see it at all on the 4K resolution. No, actually, apart from the resolution of the monitor, if you're working on a photograph that's close to the gray shade, you're almost invisible.

This happen seems to have been intentionally patched by Adobe. (Thought it was a bug at first.)

I understand the intention of Adobe's update. mayebe..? ( = the purpose of changing the brightness of the cursor in a fluid manner according to the brightness of the pixel, so that it can be visually checked better.)

"BUT"

The intentions were good, but the results were disastrous. It's so uncomfortable. We've had these updates since the 2018 version, and it's really uncomfortable.

Many people all over the world are uncomfortable with this. Some people say this. "If you can't see the mouse cursor well, can't you use a hand tool to locate it, or can't you press the Ctrl button (using windows10 Function) to locate it?"

Well... Of course you can. But before 2018, we were always able to locate the cursor without having to do such a hassle, and we were able to know exactly where we were working. But with updates in the wrong direction, it's really... It's too hard.

In fact, if you don't work on a lot of pictures in gray, there are a lot of people who don't know. There are a lot of people who don't even know. However, most of the Retoucher are uncomfortable with this. A quick update is required.

Adobe's recent updates to Photoshop have been incredible. Especially the great features of Adobe Sensai...

But before those wonderful functions, wouldn't we have to know the location of the cursor that we're most basically moving? I'm sure the priorities for the update are well established. Please update it as soon as soon as possible. Please...

Seriosly Adobe. We've been asking for over a year for this. This is something that adds time and stress to our daily work every time we use Photoshop. When dealing with skin it's extremely easy for the skin tone to fall in the area where the cursor is simply impossible to see. Yes, we can press the spacebar to find it, but this is still not a viable solution most of the time. If we're dodging&burning it's simply not feasible to press the spacebar after every stroke to make sure we are painting exactly where we want. 

When Adobe went the subscription way the excuse was that "we're not going to have to wait all the way to a new release to fix problems". Well, how about we get this (huge) problem fixed before the next big release?

To the point others have made, yes we can use the space bar as a workaround, but that doesn't help me see the edges of my brush when I'm trying to gauge if I'm in the exact right spot. It just seems ridiculous that I would have to keep pressing the spacebar to find out where my brush is, then go where I think the pixel edge is that I need to exactly hit, get it wrong by a pixel or two, undo, try again, etc. when a solution doesn't seem super difficult (but then again...people think "just swap the hands!" in a photo is easy...so...quite willing to be wrong). 😉

There is a very simple solution for Adobe. At the moment they just invert colours. Meaning with mid grey it will stay mid grey. They just have to offset this color by say 10 - 20%. 

A couple of updates they did change something giving the cursor a slight white or black edge but here on a 5K iMac it makes no difference at all. Offsetting the color would be way more effective. Can't imagine this would be hard to implement...

As others have mentioned, a workaround is to press the space key, which shows the hand used to move an image. The hand is easy to spot and at least lets you spot the cursor/tool. I press space and move cursor to where I want to work and then let go. It's a clumsy workaround but it's easy and efficient.
