I've just downloaded the new photoshop update (22.01) and I noticed there is no classic red area when you change Brush size and feathering (when using keyboard shortcut OPTION+CONTROL). 

 

it is quite frustrating

I have also just posted the same problem as well. Appeared out of the blue.

Suddenly out of the blue my HUD brush size/hardness adjustment has no colour fill. It shows nothing but a thin black circular outline. I am using the standard general brush set. When I hold down the Option & Control keys (Mac) I get a simple circular brush outline. It changes size with sideways cursor movement but with only an outline I cannot see hardness. The little read out box beside the circle shows that hardness is changing with vertical movement and the resulting brush is changed as it should be but it is not visible in HUD mode without a colour fill. My brush cursor is set in preferences to Normal. The HUD fill is set in preferences to the default red.
The problem occurs with both mouse and Wacom. It occurs in all all Image modes and in 8 and 16 bit. It is persistent through both Photoshop re-start and system re-start.


It has worked perfectly in this current version of photoshop until today. I have not changed any settings in preferences prior to this occurring.  I have searched through all the relevant settings and I can see nothing amiss.  I not aware of anything else having been changed that might trigger this.

I have not yet tried a full re-install until I am sure there is no other option.

Resizing brush red Visual representation with ALT key has been disappeared after the very last update.

usually, this feature is activated by activating the Graphics processing setting in the performance preferences.

Although it has been activated and the graphics drivers updated, it is still hidden. 

notice that some other features in photoshop depend on graphics processing OpenGL still works fine like the rotate view tool.

I was working fine before the last photoshop update.

Open your Adobe CC app, click on the ellipses next to the Open button for Photoshop. Click the Other versions, and Install for the Photoshop (22.0) version. The app will take care of the rest.
