solved -- Adjustment brush paints a smaller circle and circle flickers in use

Question

Solved: LR doesn't deal well with enlargements in the MacOS cursor size settings. Adobe, will you fix this? _________ I keep seeing issus that persist through sys/app reboots where the brush size paints areas that are significantly smaller than the diamter selected. The brush circle also flashes when moving and hides when the mouse is static.Mac Studio Ultra / 128GB RAM / 2TB internal SSDMac Ventura 13.3Lr 12.2.1

Check your MacOS System Settings. There is an option to make cursors bigger, which would explain what you see. It's in MacOS System Settings - Accessibility - Display - Pointer.

The first thing that you should try is to switch off the GPU support from the Lightroom preferences and check if that helps to fix the issue.

Go to Lightroom > Preferences > Performance tab > Uncheck "Use Graphics Processor" > Restart Lightroom.

If Lightroom doesn't start correctly the please see "Solution 2" in the document behind the link below.

Another step is to try to reset the Lightroom preferences.

It's recommended to backup your preferences before you reset the preferences to the default settings:

If this doesn't help, please provide also a copy of your 'System Info'. This can be get from the LrC Help > System Info menu item. There's a copy button in the System Info dialog. Press this button and paste the info into your next forum post.
