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.

When are we likely to see an update to Photoshop (and other software) enabling us to remove the cursor when using a wacom cintiq on iOS? 
There is an app called Astropad that allows you to mirror your mac screen and this has a tickbox saying 'Hide cursor when drawing'. Surely this should be an available option for Adobe products rather than relying upon 3rd party plugins.
I know I'm not alone here!

Nice, but for Windows only.. They hint there may be a mac version at some point...

Lazy Nezumi plugin to the rescue! (again)
You can choose to always hide the cursor, or only when you are drawing. :)

I'm shooting drawing videos directly offscreen (Cintiq as well) and at the moment I'm frantically searching for the cursor graphic in the source files so I can edit and remove it. Hardly the most intuitive way so a preference would be a lifesaver!

I also use a Cintiq. I really need this option - I can hardly paint details with the cursor being visible. Shocked to find that this hasn't been implemented yet.

OK. Thanks.

That hashmark is worse than the brush icon when working with fine detail. I'm working on a Cintiq, so I can see what I'm drawing and don't need a cursor to see where my brush tip is. I'd like to have the option to make the cursor invisible.

Does it work to use the precise cursor by either setting the preference or turning on [Caps Lock] while your painting?
