Please have a way to eliminate the cursor when using a Cintiq. I need to do detail work and that cursor is always in the way of what I'm drawing! I've been using Photoshop for 18 years, use it every day as a professional story artist.

A lot of us have been waiting for this for a LONG time, and the only plugin that addresses this is windows-only. It's very distracting to have to look at a virtually useless crosshair or brush outline when we have all the visual feedback we need.

I've been using Photoshop for over 20 years and never have I seen Adobe take so long to adapt to such a simple request that thousands are asking for.

Seriously. Make it happen, please!

I see Adobe's latest photoshop update hasn't dealt with this issue again. It's obviously not a 'Top Customer Request'. How disappointing! I have my fingers crossed for the next update, but not so much that I can't do my work. Come on Adobe/Wacom... What's the issue here???

Thanks Will. I have tried this but found it too glitchy for what I do. Now my OS won't install it; saying it can't recognise the developer.
This proves there are other 3rd party developers who are willing to help. Why is it then that Adobe are't willing to add such a seemingly simple preference to there applications...??? Come on Adobe, this would be SO helpful!!

Was reading this thread while looking for a way to record live line drawing in Photoshop without seeing the cursor.

I found this little preference pane: http://doomlaser.com/cursorcerer-hide-your-cursor-at-will/ which does the trick very neatly. You can toggle the cursor on and off with a hotkey, and it works in Photoshop.

Being able to see Photoshop working with the 'Hide Cursor When Drawing' tick box is enabled via AstroPad makes it even more annoying knowing it can be done and is very useful!! 5 Years!!

I'm a bit new to this, where's the 'Me Too' button?

Thanks All for bringing this to light again, it's been 5 years and still no regard for this issue from Adobe. I agree it should be a preference to opt out of having a cursor image.
