Allow Photoshop brush cursor to scale independent of macOS pointer settings

Dear Adobe team,

I would like to report what appears to be a long-standing accessibility-related bug in Photoshop on macOS.

When the macOS pointer size is increased in Accessibility settings, Photoshop also enlarges the brush cursor visually. However, the actual brush size does not change. This creates a mismatch between the visible brush cursor and the real tool size, making precise work difficult or misleading.

This is especially problematic because increasing the system cursor size is an accessibility setting. Users who rely on a larger pointer for visibility should not have Photoshop’s brush cursor accuracy affected as a side effect.

• Expected behavior:
The Photoshop brush cursor should reflect the actual brush size, regardless of the macOS pointer size setting.
• Current behavior:
The brush cursor is visually enlarged when the macOS pointer size is increased, but the actual brush stroke remains at the original size.

This issue has been mentioned by users online for years, so it seems to be a known long-standing problem. It would be very helpful if Adobe could treat this as an accessibility bug and prioritize a fix.
At minimum, Photoshop should either ignore the macOS pointer size for brush previews, or provide a dedicated option to keep brush cursors accurate and independent from system pointer scaling.
Thank you.
